So knocking over a seven eleven and 9/11 are basically the same thing?
Oh for cryin' out loud! Yes that is terrorism! There was a malicious attempt to maim, kill and harm others! Unfortunately it was on a larger scale! Either way, regardless of the magnitude, any attempt to maliciously maim, hurt or kill others can be construed as terrorism.
Actually, they don't. Two people involved in an altercation about something where one person gets killed doesn't affect society as much as groups or individuals who commit acts of terrorism to persuade or affect the general public.
"As much" is just your opinion and all the same it's an acknowledgement that it does threaten or impact society.

Random acts of violence compared to acts of terrorism are two different things. For those involved or connected to the said acts of random violence that's not much of a condolence, but there are big differences.
Many instances of inner city crimes are not random. They are thought out and planned.
It's proven to be extremely true. We've had the Holocaust Museum shooting in 2009, the murder of Dr. George Tiller and the Sikh temple shooting last year all acts of domestic terriorism
conservatives are wrong about everything all the time. Yet they never learn anything. If you think actual murders from white supremacists will mean anything to conservatives and cause them to reconsider their collective incorrect freak out over that DHS report, then you don't know conservatives.

I never said it didn't. Organized terrorist acts do have a greater impact on society than random or not random crimes. That's just reality. You can argue the point all you want, that doesn't change the fact.

Groups or individuals of whatever political stripe committing crimes to influence or actually cause terror are acts of terrorism.
