We're misunderstanding each other. I'm not saying to change the legal definition, but i am saying that it would be okay to call such things "terror," since mob violence is a form of terror in the sense that it generally achieves the same ends as "terrorism" and generally with a similar motive, just a different execution.

You specifically used the direct term of terrorism twice. Which is a totally different thing.

I committed an error of semantics, then. Sorry about that.
I was just saying that what Obama went for initially was still acceptable, to call it "terror" even if he believed it was motivated by random mob violence, since killing the American ambassador over a video would still qualify as "terror."
