    I’d agree, but unfortunately that term lost all meaning a long time ago.

    It can mean everything from this to 9/11 to protesting without a permit and disrupting local traffic wnd commerce to hyperbole in partisan disagreement to anything our government doesn’t like from any other entity to literally any revolution including our founding one.

    Terrorism might as well be a synonym for yelling “booooooo!” at something, it doesn’t mean anything anymore, at least colloquially.

      There’s a massive amount of people who have turned religion into a political item, it’s not even a slight hop to read

      Group calling themselves ‘god’s misfits’

      and think that they were committing

      the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

        It’s absolutely a hop because it’s not what they were doing. They were just a bunch of idiots.
