Umm, do you know what "terrorism" is?

A person's ethnicity, religion, etc. has little to do with it. Rather, if the act is measured to cause terror beyond the scope of said act, that's when it is terrorism.

Yes, this idiot slammed a small plane into a building. If it were the same situation and it was an Arab perpetuating the act, it would still not be terror.

Seems you have your very own definition of terrorism. But hey, that's pretty common in the States.

Yeah, nice try at avoiding the issue.

Why don't you kick off your part of the INTELLECTUAL discourse (meaning, not the continuance of emotional, knee-jerk comments) by sharing YOUR definition of terrorism?

And please note that you're talking to the individual that called for restraint in labelling the Fort Hood shootings terrorism immediately in its aftermath.
