I don't recall ever seeing a non-Muslim who commit multiple murders like the Church shooter, or any of the school shooters, or movie theater shooters called terrorists but whenever a Muslim commits the same act, they are immediately called a terrorist. What gives? I think that anyone who commits these acts should be labeled a terrorist.

Some have called Dylann Roof a terrorist. I suspect that most of the media doesn't call him and others like him terrorists because it would interfer with their push for more gun control. Saying "a terrorist killed x people" isn't going to drive the sheep to accept more gun control as saying 'another white man goes on a killing spree' might.

Look Terrorism was a term invented by the British.

It doesn't mean anything. except we don't want to recognize these group of people as worthy adversary.

go Ask the Irish people whether the British Army caused more Terror or Irish Independence Fighters.

Actually none of the domestic Muslim shooters have been called one. This administration and its media go out of their way to avoid calling any of them terrorists. Here's the NYT:

Not once. Same with the Fort Hood incident.

To me they are all terrorists. In the case of the latest shooter in Louisiana, hard to figure out his motivation to shoot in a theatre at random and didn't seem to target any particular type person...just seemed crazy.

From what I gather there is a large pool of ignorant people who think that ALL 1.6 billion Muslims, regardless of where they were born or live, are terrorists and are motivated by religion to commit acts of terror.

And when it comes to Non-Muslims who commit terrorism, well, they are just plain crazy.

They are all acts of terror and are therefore terrorists in my mind. I don't care what religion they follow, or their place of birth.

They aren't part of an organization whose purpose is to advance a cause through "terrorism." Neither do they seek to spread terrorism through the recruitment of others to their cause. They are sick individuals, acting alone.

Islam seeks world domination and the destruction of Western civilization. They have been engaging in this behavior since the founding of Islam in the sixth century. They went after the Jews and Christians, demanded conversion to Islam, or be killed. They conquered many of the Western lands, and the Muslim conquerors slaughtered millions. This led to the Crusades, which drove them back, in an effort to reclaim the Christian lands.

None of these non-Muslim mass murderers are part of any such movement. That's why they aren't called, "terrorists."

Excuse me! The Quran instructs all Muslims to "kill the infidel wherever you find them."

When was the last time you heard any Muslim condemn terrorism, also called, "Jihad"? To this date, there are none. All Muslims support and believe in Jihad.

The silence of the so-called "peaceful Muslims" is deafening.
