Seems that word gets way overused these days and is losing the meaning it once had. Does this attack promote terror in anyone that was not directly involved? Does this attack seek to change our policies, actions or anything else? By labeling this guy a terrorist instead of just a wack job that he is, are we not actually helping to achieve the very purpose of terrorism?

He shouts allah something before attacking random strangers in a mall. As other lone wolf attackers have done. The point is to terrorize folks in the us with these lone wolf attacks. done in the name of islam. By not labeling it terrorism, it provides a false sense of security among the us.

Does this type of attack, and the labeling it as terrorism make you fearful of going to the mall? If it was just some wack job that stabbed people without yelling anything, would you be less fearful?

If it was just some wack job that got into the mall doesnt change my fear level. The day after my sis in law was kidnapped, assaulted, shot twice in the head and left for dead by a serial killer, I went to the strip mall she was kidnapped from all by myself. If anything should have made me terrified of going out, that would have been it. I am cautious by nature but not afraid of going out. But one cant combat terrorism if one pretends it doesnt exist either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying this is just some wack job that wants his 15 minutes of fame and by labeling him a terrorist you give it to him, thus encouraging other to copy him.

It may not be Islamic terrorism, but it is an act of terror. We need to call it what it is. In fact, it was likely a test run to test our reaction time.

The feds are far too reluctant to call something terrorism. Case in point, the fort hood shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What draws the line between just a normal wack job attacking people and it being an act of terror? Was the Dear shooting up the planned parenthood clinic an act of terror?

No one said every crime is an act of terror. But setting up bombs with timers/remote detonators is a terrorist M. O. So was yelling allahu akbar in St. Cloud MN and then stabbing 8 people.
