Question:

58 killed in Las Vegas and now 26 killed in Texas by white males in a little over a month. Not labeled terrorism.

8 people killed in NYC by a immigrant from the middle east who'd been in the country for 6 years prior to the incident.

TERRORISM!!!!

Why?
Why call it terrorism? We all know that "terrorism" is a euphemism for fundamentalist Islamic guerilla warfare and pretending it isn't is thickheaded. The only reason to lump all this other **** in with it is so that we can feel better about ourselves when we talk about "real" terrorism. We know that muslims aren't the only people who employ these kinds of tactics, and use of the word "terrorism" isn't stopping any rednecks from using "terrorism" to mean muslims.
