If Adam Lanza was Muslim, would people consider him a terrorist?
-
Definitely.
-
6 RisposteBetter example would be Breivik in Norway. He was a Christian extremist and no one labeled him a terrorist, at least in the U.S. White people can only be crazy, not evil, silly Dustin.
-
The media would absolutely speculate about the idea. You know, how they do. Plant the idea in all of the idiots minds so they don't actually have to call him a terrorist to make people associate the two.
-
I wouldn't. Terrorism is defined as acts of violence, usually on innocent people, in order to further a political goal. Lanza did not do what he did because of his political or philosophical beliefs.
-
Depends on if they found evidence of radical muslim teachings on his computer or whatever.
-
You don't have to be Muslim to be a terrorist..
-
7 RisposteMuslim, Atheist, Christian... it makes no difference. A terrorist is anyone two insights terror into the public. That he did, regardless of faith.
-
Just Google image'd Adam Lana - LOL! What a -blam!-ing gimp!
-
9 RisposteAlmost certainly. But what is truly scary, as Harlow mentioned, is that people don't label the Norway shooting terrorism. It was a fundamentalist Christian with almost the same goals as Islamic terrorists, yet nobody (I'm looking at you Fox) called it terrorism. I don't know what's worse, the fact that any act of violence by a Muslim is terrorism, or the fact that violence cannot be terrorism unless perpetrated by a Muslim.
-
More people in the media would certainly call him a terrorist.
-
I consider him a terrorist regardless of religion
-
If nothing else were different, no. If he attempted to use his attack to further a cause, then yes.
-
I read that as Adam Lallana.
-
-
No because terrorists by definition have an end goal and use terror as a weapon to reach that goal. The school shooting was just mindless violence with no cause.
-
Yes. Almost certainly.
-
Of course.
-
If he did it because of his religion, most likely.
-
Modificato da GT Stryker: 3/2/2013 11:56:02 PMThere would certainly be a few people who'd say that.
-
I am Islamophobic so yes. Sue me.
-
Probably.
-
Of course. Islamophobia and all'.
-
If there weren't any after the Newtown shooting, there would be investigations into whether or not he had terrorist links. There would be speculation, then investigations. If I remember correctly, though, in any major shooting there are almost always investigations looking into if the suspect acted alone, or was a member of a cell. In all honesty, however, there would probably be instant speculation.
-
Most likely, yes The "Newtown is a hoax" movement would be practically non-existent, replaced by the "liberals are terrorists for saying that Newtown wasn't a terrorist attack" movement
