Are They Kidding in Australia?

A few hours ago, a man drove through a red light, sped up and plowed into a crowd waiting on a corner in Australia.  I heard the news about an hour and a half ago.  CBS reported that the Australian authorities saw no connection to terrorism.  I thought it was just another drunk.  Then, about a half hour later, it was reported that the driver hit the crowd intentionally, but the reporter quickly added again that there was no connection to terrorism.  Now, the Australian authorities have described the driver as an "Australian of Afghan descent".  So we have an Afghan who most likely is a Muslim who intentionally drove his car into a crowd on the street corner.  No connection to terrorism is a silly statement.  They could say that they see no obvious connection yet to ISIS or something like that, but no connection to terrorism is nonsense.  Intentionally driving one's car into a crowd is a terrorist act whether or not it is Islamic terrorism.  If the driver happens to be a Muslim, then it's Islamic terrorism.  He could be the proverbial "lone wolf" or a thug trained by ISIS.  It doesn't matter.  This is terrorism until some proof comes forward to show that it is not.
