the official definition of a hate crime is:

“criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.”

terrorism is defined as

"the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims."
to me this links to a terrorist event. She was inspired by a terrorist group and pledged allegiance to it.

They basically followed the message from I think last year where ISIS was basically saying, you don't need us to plan or help you, go out and shoot people or stab them or pick up a rock and bash their brains in, all in our name.

To me, its terrorism, more then a hate crime.
