    That’s abuse of the term. If you’re attacking a military, you’re not a terrorist. Even if your skin is brown.

    If you’re attacking women and children intentionally, you’re a terrorist. Even if you’re wearing a State-issued military uniform.

      Terrorism is by definition political. Mass school shootings are rarely political, for example. They are very very scary, but they are not terrorism. When the PLQ killed 8 people, that was terrorism.
