I assume he was using the word "terrorist" as it has been used by the media over the years, not in the correct sense. Going with the latter, yes it was clearly a terrorist attack.

Going by the former, it was not - the attack was basically homophobic in nature, perpetrated by a closet homosexual who frequented that same gay bar and had no contact whatsoever with the Muslim community.

You have to be muslim to be a terrorist?

Of course not, but I'm talking about the Orlando shooting which was initially thought to be perpetrated in the name of Islam.

I'm a Muslim myself btw.
