If a platoon holds a prayer before going on a mission, does that make their mission religiously motivated? Does it make them terrorists?[/quote]

If the purpose of the platoon was to kill unbelievers and if they were directed so by their relevant text to terrorize and if they believed they were acting based on that text that was perpetuated by a few hundred years of theological law established by their religious elders, sure.

Not sure if there is a line between McVeigh and Hasan.[/quote]

Sure there is dan. McVeigh has always been portrayed as an example of a Christian terrorist. However, he was an atheist. Big difference. Also, he did not use Christian theology as a justifications for his attacks. Jihadists say their justification for their terrorist work is because of the Koran.

Didn’t terrorize them.
Just killed them.[/quote]

Nope. Said ‘Allah Akbar’ then started shooting.

[quote=sdduuuude]above should read “but his specific actions” don’t make him a terrorist”

You may be tired of explaining but you aren’t tired of trying understanding my point as you have not yet tried.

My point is his motivation doesn’t make him a terrorist.

Specific actions do – that is, issuing demands of those terrorize – which was never done.

Which is why the media has not called him a terrorist. When they uncover such demands, perhaps they will.[/quote]

Hmmm.. Motivation: Koran says kill and terrorize unbelievers.

Hasan kills and terrorizes unbelievers (yelling Allah Akbar was considered a war cry in the history of Islam).

Nah, he’s not a terrorist. Can’t be right? He didn’t make any demands!

Hmmmm….
