Look at the history of terrorism! How many acts of terrorism are committed by Mexicans, Chinese, Vitnamese, Canadaians, Russians, or Moldavians etc, etc? None! Now how many terroirst acts are committed by Arabs and Moslem? Alost 100%!
Sure, this is true if you define terrorism the way the U.S. media defines it: a hostile act committed by an Arab or a Muslim. This semantics game is convenient. However, if you go with a normal definition -
ter·ror·ism (tr-rzm) n.
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
- suddenly your neat little world doesn't make quite as much sense.
