No, I never missed the point. It is cowardly not to call a terrorist act what it is.

Following Major Nidal Malik Hasan's terrorist attack at Fort Hood, during which he yelled, "“Allah akbar!”, as he killed 13 people, the Obama administration classified the action as an act of "workplace violence." That was pure cowardice on display. Obama finally acknowledged that Hasan had committed a terrorist attack six years after the incident.

I am going to state this plainly: terrorism is terrorism is terrorism, whether enacted by a white guy in a sheet, a jihadi in a black head rag, or an African war lord with a Russian rifle seeking to intimidate villagers. Is it "radical Islamic" terrorism? Is it "white supremacist Christian" terrorism? Is it "voodoo pagan" terrorism? President Obama may have been overly cautious. I don't dispute that. It is calling it "cowardice" that is at issue in my view.
