> A young, quiet, white catholic guy with clean looks.

Has media called him a terrorist even after he has done all that ? I doubt that. He was probably identified as a person with mental health issues.

A Canadian journalist like Tarak Fatah might get flagged as terrorist though he is an kick-ass islamic reformer. Tarak Fatah has extensively travelled in hotbeds of Islamic extremism, he is associated with and has engaged all the Islamic mullahs and currently runs a TV series debate with mullas titled "Fatah Ka Fatwah".

It is hard to catch terrorists by filling up questionnaires. Some of those questions however are obvious indicators of a threat. If you already know a person has travelled to a different country to participate in violence, I am not sure why you need to fill anything else.



A thirty second Google search will tell you that yes, he was in fact labelled a terrorist by the media.
