stop looking for persecution where there is none, it's not a terrorist attack, it's a hate crime. Some idiot going about stabbing people screaming about how they have to go back to syria will have no political influence. Terrorism is about politics

Terrorism is about politics[/QUOTE] So it's a terrorist incident when a Muslim does it, but a hate crime when whitey does it? He's trying to incite terror in a population to further his political goals, to me that is terrorism.

Secondly, this is an extreme oversimplification of one side, and painting your own bias to the other. It's not a terrorist incident just because a muslim does it. That's such a huge oversimplification. Also, the only motive you can correctly infer from the facts is that he wanted to kill muslims due to bigotry. You can't prove a motive of political change by coercion or fear of the public.

[QUOTE=Shadow801;51518929] If this situation was reversed it would almost certainly be considered terrorism[/QUOTE] No hold on, terrorism is violent acts aimed to achieve a political goal. This is just some dumb cunt attacking people based on race/religion. So to say "this'd be called terrorism if it was a muslim!" is an absolute lie.
I have to say this title is really unnecessary considering the article.
