Is It Terror or Workplace Violence?

The news reports are still sketchy, but it seems that in Oklahoma a man was shot after he killed one of his co-workers by beheading her and then began to stab a second woman employee.  First reports say that the killer had tried and failed to convince the women to convert to Islam.  The killer is in the hospital at the moment; he was shot by the company's COO who, fortunately, was armed.

So is this the start of a new bout of domestic terrorism?  Will the administration admit that this is a terror attack, or will we be told that it is just workplace violence (like the terror attack at fort Hood in which 13 soldiers were killed?)

I hope that some of the details reported above are wrong.  I truly do.  It would be much better if the killer was just a demented psycho rather than an Islamic terrorist.  I doubt that will be the case, however.
