I have noticed this in the past and fully agree. The author could have even gone a step further to point out all the cases of people who are labeled immediately as terrorists. Generally, if you are Muslim and attack people, you are immediately labeled as a terrorist. However, if a white Christian attacks people because they are too liberal/ruining your country/whatever, it was often just some guy that was "crazy." There seems to be a disconnect in the general willingness to label such persons as something other than crazy. There are perhaps some nuiances that need to be discussed, but I do think we need to work on how we address these topics in the U.S.
