Something performed by a Muslim that would be attributed to mental health issues if done by a Christian.So, did that hostage situation in Maryland yesterday qualify as terrorism?
Is anyone going to precisely define what they think terrorism is?

The word looks like it mean "in favour of terror", which it plainly does not. Try harder.As far as I know terrorism means exactly what the word looks like it means.
So the director of The Excorcist was a terrorist?Okay, to the best of my knowlage, a terrorist is someone who attempts to cause terror.
i have...have u read imam's writings?, because he seems to disagree with us both....or r u just going to brush of his beliefs with some tangentail excuse?
The context pretty clearly established that we were talking about American Muslims.
You're one [islamophobe] of many...
see first point.....Of course I am; if we're discussing mainstream Western media, then it's only natural that I discuss mainstream Western media. If we want to talk about independent Palestinian newspapers, then go nuts, but it won't tell you much about the Muslim-American experience.
But.... but..... but.... WHO THE FRAKKIN HELL CARES WHAT HE SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Read the damned Constitution. It makes everything he might say on the subject as irrelevant as a fart in a hurricane.![]()
It's around 50% of those who are against the mosque, actually - that's what the polling has indicated - who are against it due to genuine intolerance; the rest are simply sympathetic towards those who are intolerant or otherwise don't think it's a wise idea in the same way that one wouldn't feel that a black man dating a white woman is a good idea in the 50s.bernie14 said:....all those amerikuns against the mosque must be islamophobes....
Or in the case of the Maryland man, a person who was an "environmentalist" instead of a Muslim, even though he was clearly suffering from many mental health issues. Claiming someone with particular views is a "terrorist" has apparently become a rationalization to be intolerant of the entire group.Something performed by a Muslim that would be attributed to mental health issues if done by a Christian.
I agree. I think you have a group of bigots who are staunchly opposed to it. mainly because they conflate terrorism with Islam. And there is another group that is trying to "respect their feelings" while deliberately ignoring the feelings of everybody else, especially the victims of these "feelings".It's around 50% of those who are against the mosque, actually - that's what the polling has indicated - who are against it due to genuine intolerance; the rest are simply sympathetic towards those who are intolerant or otherwise don't think it's a wise idea in the same way that one wouldn't feel that a black man dating a white woman is a good idea in the 50s.
forget to take your meds?
Forget to read the Constitution?
A key financial backer of the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero once contributed to a U.S.-designated terror group, MyFox New York reports.
Egyptian-born businessman Hisham Elzanaty, who made what is described as a "significant investment" in the Ground Zero mosque project,contributed more than $6,000 in 1999 to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, also known as HLF, tax records show.
The donations came two years before the federal government shut down HLF and designated it a terror group. Elzanaty's attorney told MyFox New York that his client believed at the time that he was donating to an orphanage. Elzanaty did not respond to questions.
Federal investigators say the group was set up as a Texas-based charity, but in fact supported Hamas.
Ray Locker, managing director of The Investigative Project on Terrorism, told MyFox New York that even in 1999, news outlets reported on possible ties between HLF and terror organizations.
Five HLF leaders were convicted in 2008 of providing support to Hamas.
That's why I love freedom of speech so much. Their own words are really their worst enemy.Clearly, this story shows that Imam Rauf is corrupt and totally inextricably linked to this awful, shady and nefarious scheme to fund Hamas! The curtain has been peeled back!
That's why I love freedom of speech so much. Their own words are really their worst enemy.
And I love how US citizens can openly give money to terrorist groups like the Jewish Defense League.
