Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad not only targeted a military recruiting center, but a report from DHS says he was also targeting a daycare center, Jewish institutions, a Baptist church, military bases and federal buildings. He seems much more like a religious extremist than anything close to a liberal. If his aim was a broader anti-war statement there's no reason whatsoever to target daycare centers, Jewish institutions, or a Baptist church.
