I know, that's what I mean. Yet it never gets treated as seriously as acts of terrorism committed by people who are a bit off-white when this crap happens. Know what I mean? Like in my country, Mosques are being burned down and shit and it barely makes the news.

Well, probably because of the divide that already exists in American society about this issue.

Well, I'm in the UK. This problem is relatively recent. There's an anti-Islamic terrorist group called the EDL who pretty much get away with everything. It's upsetting.

Why are you so upset about it, I don't know. Are you muslim?

You don't have to be a muslim to be annoyed by the EDL.

No. I'm just not a total cunt. I care when people are treated like that. It probably doesn't help that I've had to see Muslim friends and family members suffer as a result as well.

I think when crimes like this happen, the perpetrators are just charged with the crime but rarely if ever charged with terrorism. I'm not sure that terrorism is even a legal crime in most jurisdictions with the exception of "terorristic threat," aka "criminal threat," like when you threaten to kill someone. However, that's not the same as using fear as a political weapon as terrorism as we know it is defined. I think they just charge murderers of abortion doctors with murder and arsonists of abortion clinics with arson, and they keep statistics of the attack along with other attacks on abortion clinics, but that's about it. I believe there is a federal crime against terrorism, but people who torch women's health clinics rarely get charged with that, though they should.

Oh, BTW, according to a Joplin Globe article, no abortion services are provided at this PP clinic.

If you bet your money on a Christian perpetrator for these crimes, you will come out way ahead.

So far, you would not have lost a bet.
