re: #3 sliv_the_eli

I agree with your definition of terrorism, and I’d just like to point out that I didn’t label Mr. Stout a terrorist. I did put the Page in the “Terrorism” category rather than the “Crime”, because… Well, I suppose partly because it felt better to do so. Why? I guess because if his name had been Ali or Mustafa and he’d torched a church or a synagogue, the media would be injecting the word “terrorism” into every other sentence, even if it was to repeatedly say, “Authorities claim there’s no known link to terrorism.”

Also, in the past the only religion that had a category in the LGF Pages was Islam, so people used to post pages about extremism & terrorist attacks under “Islam” instead of “Terrorism”. Thanks to Charles, that’s no longer the case.

As for Wonkette, well, it’s Wonkette—the snark makes me LOL.
