re: #59 Killgore Trout
I’m not alone. The UK government has already determined this was a terror attack. I think most people would agree that this was terrorism. I’m afraid you’re in the minority on this one.
‘Attack by Islamist terrorist’ and ‘Islamic attack’ aren’t really synonyms. Words need to be used with precision here.
From my point of view, the first term is a reasonable way to describe the London beheading. The second term is not helpful, because it conflates Islam itself with terrorism.
