A plurity [41%] of Muslim adults in the US are in fact White.

Like I said before, the race card was already played in this scenario and it didn't work.

Well, he was a Christian homeschoolie. They all need to be watched now. Robert Spencer is writing a book explaining how the things God says in Deuteronomy led him to do it. Bombs are much more efficient than stoning...

I know. I'm making fun of the broad brushes used by Islamophobes like Spencer and Geller.

Why?

What difference does it make whether he did it because his dog told him to, or whether "allah" himself gave him directions. NO distinction is made in ANY other terrorist attack, but this piece of **** happens to be white and 'born in the USA'.

Far as I'm concerned a terrorist is a terrorist and where the right has called for excessive measures, put your money where your mouth is and hang this prick. Then we will have a clear understanding of the White House policy - that ALL terrorists are bad.....and show us white supremacy is NOT tolerated.

Truth is most of the people around Trump are the same way....hating other Americans is their MO

He's certainly a terrorist in my book, like Tim McVeigh was and the monsters on 9/11 were.

Not sure why he isn't being called a terrorist. What he did terrorized people. Is this confusing to people for some reason?

Well to be a terrorist, you have to have some kind of political aim as the reason for the violence. Like Timothy McVeigh, who's motivation was because of the Waco seige and the Ruby Ridge incident. I have no idea what this dude's motivations were, and they are still a mystery. But if it's found out that he did it because of political reasons, then yeah, he's a terrorist.
