ArnoldRimmer said: Why exactly is this incident called "terrorism" and the boy called a "terrorist"? I may have a strange definition of "terrorism", but I just can't see why this australian boy is a "terrorist", when the guy from the mass shooting in Oregon a few days ago is usually just being referred to as a "shooter" or "gunman". So, what's the difference that makes the one incident an act of "terrorism", but not the other incident? |
I think the definition of terrorism is pretty clear - it's for ideological/political reasons.
