I am refreshing this thread because of a lot of misuse of the word Terrorism - not every crime committed by a moslem against people who aren't moslem is terrorism, the lastest (Chattanooga) shooting notwithstanding. In fact, no attack on any *military* target can be called terrorism, not even the Marine barracks bombing. If you're killing soldiers, you aren't a terrorist, no matter what your motive.

It isn't only the motive that makes an act of violence terrorism.

Who commits it matters, and whom the target is matters.
