A terrorist act, IMO, is a act that instills terror into the population.
We see no further violence at the scene of the murder, so IMO, this was a direct attack against the person not an act of terrorism
Now nothing says that this was not a hate crime, but in hate crimes it is assumed that the attack would continue against any person or persons that the perpetrator felt animosity against. That is unless the perpetrator put flight above further actions.
Also nothing says that this crime was because of the victim's race, or religion nor does it say it wasn't.
So everyone can speculate the reason , but until the perpetrator is apprehend and is questioned (assuming they surrender) or evidence is brought forward I see no reason to speculate.
But if it makes you feel good to express yourself go ahead. But count me out.

It doesn't fail because, factually, the British and French redrew the borders, and the continued interference and involvement of the West did spur a nationalist movement which did grow into a religious extremist movement which did lead to the problems we have today.

My point was some of the sources of conflict existed within the Ottoman Empire for centuries. For example there were a number of Kurdish revolts well before the West became heavily involved in the ME. The Şahkulu Rebellion is a prime example in which sectarian conflicts were already present prior to the West even being capable of unified defense against the Ottoman let alone conquests of it's primary territories. Iraq had been a battleground between the western and eastern Muslim Empires for centuries which does not lend itself to a unified and loyal subjects. More so nationalism wouldn't have gained ground without the inhabitants in various areas have issues with the Ottoman Empire.

In my opinion no. He was a hate filled idiot that perpetrated a hate crime. Did his act provoke terror among the population? No, just anger

So he didn't provoke terror into the black population in South Carolina? Gotcha. He attacked a church.
