But the local authorities are calling the shooting of six at The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle a "hate crime."

Rigggghhhtttt.

Hate crime? Sure seems coincidental with events in the Middle East, just days after Hezbollah urged Muslims to take the fight to Jews in the United States.

It wasn't a hate crime. It was terrorism, plain and simple. And now one person is dead and three others are critically wounded after a TERRORIST act in Seattle.

From Allah Pundit:

Sources told KING 5 the suspect is a Pakistani man with a criminal background. He is from the Tri-Cities but his citizenship is unknown.

And...

One witness, who declined to give her name, said a man walked into the Jewish Federation building with a gun, said he was upset about what was going on in Israel, then opened fire. After the shootings, the man said to call 911, the witness said. The witness said the man identified himself as an American Muslim.
