"I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new." |
The above is sarcasm, but as always A terrorist is a terrorist is a terroristwhether he is Norwegian, or Kansan, or Egyptian, or Sri Lankan, or Pennsylvanian, or British, or Virginian, or Irish, or Israeli, or from New York, or from Illinois. Politically motivated violence with the intent of causing mass fear is terrorism and it is always abhorrent. By only calling the acts of Muslim extremists terrorism in the media, we implicitly excuse all other terrorists of their crimes.
