It seems terrorist can be all sorts. I would say these folks were christian terrorists, No?

No.
I'm given to believe that terrorism, in real-world usage, refers to attacks that are planned to create terror in order to achieve the above. That is why there is a distinction between a hate crime and terrorism. If you wake up one morning and decide to kill Muslims just because you hate them, it's a hate crime, which is no less evil than terrorism. If you wake up and you decide to kill Muslims to instill fear in the Muslim community so that people will come to see the world through your eyes or die along the way, you're a terrorist. I think the distinction is really only important in terms of how you handle it. Legally, you're still a murdering fuck with extra charges because you're a racist.

That makes a lot of sense. I get it now. Thanx
I was a born-again christian for many years then I got woke.. and now life is better in so many ways. It's taking me time to see my value and find my voice, but the reward is liberating knowing my path is not dictated or controlled by fear of death and the unknown. Casting off the shackles of religion is pretty fucking awesome. The beautiful people I've met on this forum have more heart and compassion than any group of people I've been apart of. So back off Jesus and followers, because this bitch is done with Chu.
