While it is unlikely that Haq's anti-semitism would have grown into murderous violence without considerable nourishment from Islamist/Salafist/Jihadi sources, it still seems a bit much to treat him as an organized islamist terrorist.

Being baptized is a capital offence in the eyes of any hard-line moslem group.

Vicious? yes, hate-crime? yes, terroristic? yes, legally insane? no, jihadi terrorist? no.
