This is what you get.
A terrorist is a brown man with a suicide vest, AK-47 and a Quran. This is the legacy of the war on terror propaganda, and what the world sees.

There is no blonde terrorists. There is no westerner terrorists.

Please don't ignore my last post.

Yes white Europeans and white Americans CAN BE TERRORISTS AS WELL. 

Google, Dillon Roof, Eric Rudolph and Timothy McVeigh. 

Nobody should be saying "Only Muslims do it". But between the east and west, the west is far more open as far s rights. I am NOT proud of the fact that our right wing wants to become a Christian theocracy here.

I hate Trump and I hate our religious right wing too. But that still would not justify either's side of religiously justified violence.

Timothy McVeigh:


Fuck off, Atlas.

Atlas, you're looking for issues where there aren't any. A ton of innocent people and children just died. This isn't really the time to be trying to make yourself a victim.

There are some Westerners who will tell you that only Muslims (or, potentially, atheists) can be terrorists.

Those are likely to be conservatives of the white persuasion (certainly not all conservatives or exclusively conservatives, of course).

White terrorist?

That prick in Norway who slaughtered the kids.
Timothy McVeigh (and others of his ilk).
Those "militia" arseholes who occupied some government land in the US a couple of years back.
The KKK.
The "pro life" mother fuckers who kill doctors/medical workers, and blow up clinics.
The IRA.

There are plenty of others.

While the general definition of a terrorist is provided above, I don't entirely agree with the definition.

But, whatever way you look at it, this arsehole and those cowards like him are vermin.

Simple as that, as far as I'm concerned.

Ssshhh, all of you.


Have you no respect for the profits of the gun industry?

Not including today.

Also, don't forget that Saudi Arabia has listed atheists as "terrorists".

Actually, it is the kind of country we live in. Much of the world figured this out a long time ago.

Really? Here is an actual road sign



Yes, that is genuine. Yes I have driven past it many times and yes it means exactly what it says. The Barrett 50 was the weapon of choice. Do not even attempt to pretend that western terrorism does not exist.

Taken literally this is patently false.

I assume you meant "This is the way terrorism is often misrepresented as exclusively being:[...]" yes?

But I must say: where is the hypocrite terrorist accusation that so many throw when the killer is brown?
Isn't this dog a terrorist? or is he treated better just because he's a non-Muslim?

A terrorist is someone with a political motive.

Sad to say, I'm a bit more terrified of American crazies loaded to the teeth with weapons and ammo and who watch Infowars on a constant loop than I am of some brown people with religious (not political) beliefs.
