Forums - General - Why isn't the recent Pentagon shooting considered an act of terror?

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/10/19/dc.pentagon.shots.fired/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

Apparently some shots were recently fired at a parking lot at the Pentagon early in the morning. This has been called a "random incident".  In this age of terror, where al Qaeda has declared on America and the west, and one dirty bomb (or a mall shot up) could cause America to completely collapse and fold up, and result is Sharia law being forced on America (complete with forcing everyone to pray facing Mecca 3 times a day), shouldn't incidents like this be first considered the work of terrorists?  Isn't the way to handle this to then look up who did it, and find out what country they have ties to, and then go to the U.N to declare war on the nation that backed them?  If we are unsure, then figure out who might be, and invade them to drain the swamp so it never happens again, even if the U.N doesn't approve.

I would say I am concerned about this.  Why isn't this considered an act of terrorism by Muslim fundamentalists first?  I ask this, because this assumption has been the norm since 9/11, including the other shooting in the military where a psychologist/psychiatrist snapped and went on a shooting rampage.  This was labelled an act of terror in some circles.

So, are you saying that this event should be considered an act of terror?

are you talking about the recent turkey or iranian incursions into iraq?  i will tell ya though, neither of them really constitutes an "invasion".

It depends.  Is it anything like the religious fundamentalist terrorist attacks like the recent shoe bomber, underwear bomber, or Times Square "my car bomb didn't go off" bomber?

Or is it anything like the extremist right-wing anti-government militia terrorist attacks like the recent guy who flew his plane into the IRS, or the guy who listened to too much Glenn Beck and tried to shoot up a bunch of California Highway Patrol officers so he could go murder a group of environmentalists?

We don't know the shooter's skin color yet, so we don't know what to call this one yet.  It might be the work of "an Islamofascist Jihadist terrorist who hates freedom" or it might be the work of a "confused and desperate white individual who acted alone and needs psychiatric help."



youre insane lol, if you want to take it to extremes, one act of terrorism could end up with martial law being enacted

nah iam talking about the  USA invasion in irak



Why should this be considered terrorism? With the information they have so far, you may aswell call every 7-11 robery terrorism if you want to call this it too.

why would the united states invade iraq when they are already there.  you are making no sense.  or is irak a different country than iraq?
