Is this a hate crime?

This is a two day old incident but is gaining quite a bit of traction within the US Muslim community and also internationally. And significantly, yet another shooting and killing in Copenhagen, Denmark, what is being called a terror attack.

The killer in Chapel Hill is an avowed atheist and probably a hot head and I don't see this as a hate crime, though FBI is now involved. In Copenhagen though, it is continuation of the revenge against cartoonists that depicted Mohammed unflatteringly. Is this terrorism?
