1. Why does it matter, really?

Especially since we use "terrorist" to describe anyone we don't like. I suppose, then, the conclusion must be that we don't particularly object to white racist terror, which anyone who has lived in this country for long enough to reach sapience should already know.

Just seems a diversion from the central point to me: why does this country love racism so?

4. Why does this country fear American citizen Muslims so much....it is a legitimate and vital discussion, as the OP implies. Why?

[malthaussen]

5. Probably due to the Goring effect.

You know, create an enemy and call anyone a traitor who doesn't hate them. One of the simplest methods of keeping the people afraid and alone.

2. This was an act of terrorism

3. The epidemic of fear by Americans over a small but, visible minority, that is the key, is sad and pathetic.

300 million guns, a trillion dollar security and military apparatus, yet Americans can still be made to shit their pants on command by the Gestappo mass media all getting together and pressing the right buttons.....and they know it. The mass media love their control over this reliable American xenophobia.

Can you say "Ebola"?

Boo!

6. "Muslim" is the new "commie". It serves nearly the identical purpose. No peace dividend will ever be

seen by the average grunt citizen.
