You also seem to be unaware to the fact that thousands of innocent civilians, including six month old babies, have been deliberately killed by people other then muslim extremist terrorists. What am I supposed to term those people? "Folks who know what they are doing"??

Although I am not sure what the point of the above was supposed to be, the discussion wasn't about any other group of people; it was about a specific group that knew well what it was doing and it was to cause terror, the definition of which is "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives". (Department of Defense)

THe definition is informed by the intent of the act. If your vague mention of "other than Muslim extremists" refers to deliberate killing for these reasons, then call them terrorists. If you don't believe the London group were terrorists, then I stand by my opinion that you are being an apologist for them.
