to oldschool: So you didn't answer my simple question concerning the definition of a terrorist. Which is exactly the answer I was expecting.

can white people ever be considered terrorists to you or does that not fit your definition?
Scholz,

I will answer that. A resounding YES.

I'll give you a perfect example that fits into current events.

There's a little area of mountains called the Caucas Mountains. Oddly enough, that's where the word Caucasian came from. Most probly already know this. Blonde hair, green eyes. White people live there. The vast majority of people living in that area are from Chechnya. As I'm sure you're aware, Chechens are mostly muslim. Chechens are also considered to be the MOST feared, MOST hard core extremist out there. They make ISIS look like cuddle bunnies.
Just ask the Russians in that theater, and those 360 kids in that school in Beslan.

So absolutely- Caucasian people can certainly be terrorists. In point of fact, those are the only people I hope I never piss off. They would have zero problem blending right into our society until they decided to go megaton on us.

Just ask the Russians........
 
Sorry if I'm worried about actual threats in the US, Muslim as well as non Muslim. You were saying about fact based conclusions again?

I got it, us good, them bad.

Yes, the facts don't support the weight you are giving to white supremacist groups. If you want to say we need to get rid of them, great. I'm all for it. What I'm not for is trying to bring up white supremacist groups as a counter-weight whenever Islamic terrorism is discussed.

Islamic terrorism needs to be dealt with on its own merit. Their goals and tactics are different from white supremacists groups, and thus have to be approached differently. White supremacists groups also don't have anywhere near the global reach or influence of Islamic terrorist groups, so again, they have to be dealt with differently.

So basically I'm saying this. If you want to fight Islamic terrorism, then just do it. Don't pussyfoot around, and come up with half-assed measures because you are worried it "looks bad." You evaluate the situation objectively, and the take the most effective approach to solve the problem. You don't try to bring up other groups because you don't like the fact that Muslims get mentioned too much.
 
Guys, enough of this. No one is going to convince the other guy that he's wrong and their way of thinking is right. All this "debate" leads to is non-stop arguing, finger pointing and ridiculous statements, beliefs, assumptions about religion and race. Let's keep things about sports here. Thanks.
