According to CNN: "Dylann Roof admits he did it, two law enforcement officials said -- shooting and killing nine people he'd sat with for Bible study at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina. But why? To start a race war, Roof told investigators, according to one of the officials. CNN's Evan Perez and Wesley Bruer were the first to report Roof's confession. Others earlier gave a glimpse into his twisted motivation -- including at the time and site of the shooting, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. There, a survivor told Sylvia Johnson that Roof answered one man's pleas to stop by saying, "No, you've raped our women, and you are taking over the country ... I have to do what I have to do." http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/19/us/charleston-church-shooting-main/index.html?sr=cnnitw So we have an armed man deliberately targetting and terrorising civilians in order to achieve a political objective. That's pretty much the standard definition of a terrorist isn't it? If the word 'terrorist' has any meaning, Roof was a terrorist, as much a terrorist as IS, Al Quada, Hamas and the Israeli Defence Force (IDF).
