Whether the bureau designates an Islamist attack “terrorism” depends on a dubious judgment that it was inspired by “false” Islamic teaching.
Turns out that Shamsud-Din Jabbar kept Islamic scripture on, of all places, his internal profile page at Deloitte, where he was working as a “solutions specialist” — which sounds eerie now in light of the “solution” he had in mind when he rammed a rented Ford pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in the first hours of the new year, killing 15 and injuring dozens more.
A major housecleaning is in order.
