Any time someone commits an act in the name of their cause with a goal of promoting their causeand increasing fear, it is terrorism. If a Muslim chops off someones head because they are gay and Sharia requires it and if they do so filming themselves shouting Allah Ahkbar! then it is terrorism. If Jim and 6 other people are playing poker and someone cheats and Jim snaps and whips out a bowie and hits him, chopping off his head...he is a ****head that committed a murder.So much apologism in this topic.
Also, a Muslim shoots someone, terrorist; someone else shoots someone, gunman. Oh America, you love your double standards and pretensions of the moral high-ground over the peoples of the earth.

You know the difference....right?
How dishonest of you. You define terrorism as an act of violence motivated by ideology, yet you fail to apply that definition to someone who killed another based on his faith.
Where did he say that?
Reading his comment it seems like he differs between an act of murder where the victim is picked for something he's done or something like that and an act of murder where the victim is picked for his nationality/ethnicity/sexuality/religion/etc.
A-not sure what 'looks Jewish' looks like and b-is that what you have in mind when you think 'looks Jewish'?

I mean...I suppose he could be....
In this topic, the victim was picked for his religion. Why is his murderer a gunman and not a terrorist?
He told you that if a victim is picked not for something he's done but for something he is, so to promote a cause or to create fear, then it is terrorism. This means that if this case happens to answer these conditions, it is terrorism. Right now there is a suspect held by police and that's pretty much it, as more info will be revealed I'm sure we'll get to know what it's all about.
I suggest your comments are driven by your sad little agenda. Dishonest? Grab a mirror, pal. And then while you are at it, grab a dictionary. Terrorism is "the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims." A gunman is 'just' a gunman unless that gunman's act is motivated by ideology.How dishonest of you.

So you assert that if this 'gunman' in question turns out to have targeted those victims based solely on their faith, he remains a 'gunman' and not a terrorist? If this is the case, I believe we know who's driven by "sad little agenda".
If the shooter is a Muslim, is he still a terrorist?
If he turns out to have targeted them for their faith, sure thing, though I can't fathom the idiocy that would compel you to entertain that scenario.
In this topic, the victim was picked for his religion.
Indeed. If it turns out it was a random stranger targeting no specific individual or ideology and with no intent, they are a gunman...not a terrorist.So you assert that if this 'gunman' in question turns out to have targeted those victims based solely on their faith, he remains a 'gunman' and not a terrorist?

Trump has consistently raised the hate factor with his intemperant rabblerousing comments. No apology necessary.
Sorry to see this. Hopefully they catch whoever's responsible.

Why are men so violent?
I guess it goes back to the days when men were the hunters. It became ingrained in their DNA. Cut their nuts off like they do tomcats and they'll mellow out.
