I think people need to be careful to not expand the meaning of a term to suit their agenda. Just as there seems to be no end to the number of dogmatic leftists who babble on about "state terrorism" as they seek to justify Islamic terrorism through false equivalences with western actions, I think it incumbent for those on the right to limit the definition to actual cases of mayhem.

Although I see it as intentional provocation, it strikes me as arising from some misguided desire to point out stereotyping of Muslims.

Hmmmm...You described it as, and I quote..."a stunt hatched by his Islamist father in order to serve an agenda..." Now here is the definition of terrorism....

""Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

IOW..."A stunt hatched by the Islamist father to serve an agenda."
