Terrorist is the name reserved for Muslims ? by Fluxion 2011/07/30 04:12
I Daniyal want to say some thing to all fellow wappers
If the person who killed 76 people in Norway was a Muslim,
the
Press would have declared him as
terrorist.
For now though, he is just an
'Assailant ', 'Attacker' (Reuters),
'Gunman' (BBC, CNN ). -gap-
Looks like
'Terrorist ' is a name reserved for Muslims? -gap-
The US Dept of State calls it an
'Act of Violence', Not an 'Act of
Terrorism'.
Share this with others and let the
world know,
HYPOCRISY is leading us
astray. -gap-

That's inccoret. He doesn't belongs to any terrorist org or any terrorist group so its not suprising to see media it as act of violence.., also there is no terrorist ideology behind the attact. And you igored the fact that initially news media called it terrorist attack. I am not saying western news media always right but in this case they or any other news media cant call it terrorist attack. I request u to read asian-arab news media reporting on this issue. Even they not calling it terrorist attack

It is very unfair and very disappointing how some people see muslims that are forced to act violent to protect themselves and their family as terrorism. And more unfortunate when the doers of the violence are not muslims, they won't call it as the act of terrorism. It is sad how some people always want to emphasize the small violent doing of the muslims yet hide the biggest violence of those who are not muslims. I keep asking myself why are they so against the muslims? What have the muslims done to them that they attack us?

A terrorist is a person who frightens other people with violence. And this freak obviously frightened the hell out of a whole nation. If he's not a terrorist, I dunno who is!

Well... If all the Muslims wanna whine about why he wasn't called a terrorist, go ahead whine all you want. Shyt happens. You have Bin Laden to thank for the black mark he put on you.
It's pretty much like what the innocent tamils in my country has to go through, thanks to Prabhakaran.
Muslims are not the only ones who feel this way. Talk to a Tamil person living in Sri Lanka and you'll know what I'm saying. At least the tamils in our country are working on unity with the rest of th country, and the Sinhalese are slowly, but surely getting rid of the "all tamils are terrorists" bullshyt.
Most of you talk on behalf of Bin Laden and then you whine about ll Muslims being labeled as terrorists.
Grow up already!

at first he did, but wouldn't term him as a terrorist still, he didnt had any demands , nor was he doing it to earn a reputation aka bounty in the underworld

The fact it appears he attacked alone without any group makes him a lone assailant, however it was still a terrorist act he committed and I agree with you all that they are not reporting this guy as he clearly is.
"Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians)"
His acts were those i stated above..henceforth by definition he is a terrorist!

There exist many different definitions of terrorism, but terrorism most commonly includes these elements: Use of premeditated, politically motivated violence or the threat of violence; Targeting noncombatants; Being a non-state actor; Absence of a state of war (specifically conventional warfare), thus excluding war crimes; Taking actions designed to coerce, frighten, or "send a message" to the public or a government (thus excluding organized crime performed for personal gain)....and he's one of those attackers that should taken action .......he truly deserves to call it as terrorist........
