Your classifying of anything is completely off this topic anyway

If you classify a killing, as terrorism then I need to remember that you are still 14.. and have some time left to educate your self Smile

My point exactly. I can see how my statement can be misinterpreted. I was referring to the fact that Muslims are saying Islam is peaceful, but are not providing actions to prove it to the masses. Their religion is being stolen by ISIS solely on the fact that actions speak louder than words.

I think you're missing the issue regarding the political, ideological, and religious classification of terrorism. The KKK is deemed a terrorist organization -- including the almost nonexistent factions that remain today -- because of their forced coercion and intimidation to further a political agenda of white supremacy.

I've got a hypothetical example which would be rather easy for everyone to understand. Say Outsider decides to take the means of potato farming away from Merkii and other potato farmers. Merkii doesn't agree with this for a multitude of reasons. He decides to start a group called the Potato Farmers Association of NextGenUpdate. At first they're peaceful and a legitimate organization of men and women who farm potatoes in the NGU countryside. However, things aren't working out like they had originally intended. So they start using violence, coercion, and other intimidation tactics to further their political agenda. The PFANGU is now a terrorist organization.

ISIS just happens to be made up of Middle Eastern men who also happen to be Muslim. Whether they are actually Muslim or not, or whether the represent Islam or not are for another debate.

School shootings are not labelled terrorism because there is no political, ideological, or religious goals. Now if the federal government were to amend the definition of terrorism to include actions made by the mentally ill then school shootings would be considered terrorism.

Recent news story....
Radovan Karadzic sentenced to 40 years in prison for war crimes charge was genocide.

European Christian guilty of genocide against European Muslims.

Islam has provided the world with so much yet many are unaware of the rich history it has.
