Ah, so you just have an entirely different definition of terrorism, so it turns out we are talking about two completely different things. That's fine. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
Of course we have different definitions; the American definition needs adjustment.

I remember a time when atheists used to mock conservatives for fearing that Sharia law could be implemented in Western countries in the future if we kept letting Muslims immigrate here, and now the big boogeyman is whitey who wants a white ethnostate. There isn't going to be a white ethnostate any more than there is going to be Sharia law or Christian theocracy. These are wild dreams that those extremist types have, that are never going to come to pass. Yeah, it's fucked up that some people may want a white ethnostate, kicking out every rightful citizen, but unless they have a magic wand, they're not getting their wish. They can have their naughty thoughts and I'm still not going to call that terrorism unless they do what the dictionary actually defines as terrorism. I'm not for making thought crime a thing.
And that folks, is a Trumpster white supremacist, believing in the Great Replacement theory; the theory again so you know it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement
Quote:The Great Replacement (French: Grand Remplacement), also known as the replacement theory,[1][2] is a white nationalist[3] far-right[4] conspiracy theory[5][6][7] which states that, with the complicity or cooperation of "replacist" elites,[a][5][8] the white French population—as well as white European population at large—is being progressively replaced with non-European peoples—specifically Arab, Berber and sub-Saharan Muslim populations
I get it. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. That's fine. If you don't want to consider them terrorists, that's fine. Agree to disagree.
I was not saying that I am one of the people who worry about Sharia law being implemented because of immigration. I was saying that atheists, including myself, mocked conservatives for making that kind of argument.
I know what the great replacement theory is. At least in the US, some whites want less minorities immigrating because minorities are more likely to vote Democrat. Some Democrat voters want whites to no longer be the majority because whites vote Republican more than any other group. I get it.
