This may actually play into the controversy over hate speech laws. I know some people here have opposed them as criminalizing specific parts of speech; however, I have no problems with considering such actions as church or synagogue firebombings as terrorism as they are intended to intimidate (unlike, say, burning it down for insurance fraud).
Either way, this is a ridiculous ruling.
ETA: The firebombing was apparently in protest of Israel's foreign policy.
