Minnesota governor: Mosque blast 'an act of terrorism'

[Snap]

[quote]Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton (D) on Sunday said the bombing of a suburban mosque one day earlier was “an act of terrorism.”

According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Dayton and several other officials visited the mosque on Sunday, one day after someone threw a homemade explosive device through a window.

"What a terrible, dastardly, cowardly act was committed," Dayton said, calling it a hate crime.
"Anything I can do to put a stop to it, I would gladly do.”

For now. If the perpetrators sole motive is "doesnt like brown people" then yea. If the guys chasing a political goal like "brown people go back to Africa", then its terrorism.

Its a completely arbitrary distinction to make either way.

Its the difference between life in prison, and life in prison.
