It fits all the elements of a hate crime,

It appears to be a crime of passion,

For some, the very act of intelligence gathering seems illegitimate when applied to the crime of terrorism.

The NYPD has too urgent a mission and too few officers for us to waste time and resources on broad, unfocused surveillance. We have a responsibility to protect New Yorkers from violent crime or another terrorist attack - and we uphold the law in doing so.

This has not been a crime of hate.
