As a Christian why would I defend anyone who killed people in a church? In fact I don’t recall defending this asshole at any time. I simply said his atheism was not the motivating factor in killing people in that church.
He went there because his in-laws attended that church. He killed his wife’s grandmother there. It’s not like the family would have let them in if he’d gone to their home. They would have called the cops when he pulled in the driveway.
He couldn’t have “just killed his wife” because they’re not together.
true------so you agree that the family murder of passion was
nothing like TERRORISM
Every public mass shooting is terrorism, regardless of motive. There are hundreds of definitions of what constitutes terrorism around the world but the only consensus is that it involves violence or the threat of violence.
American law defines it as violence in pursuit of idealogical goals but the Americans don’t want to face the fact that there are many acts of terrorism perpetrated with no goal other than to kill or injure as many people as possible. The Boston bombing springs to mind, the Las Vegas shooting, the Aurora movie theatre killing, Sandy Hook, Columbine.
Anericans don’t define these attacks as terrorism because they would have to do something other than wring their hands over them, and send prayers and condolences. Prayers aren’t working.
I consider your theory on "terrorism" as any BIG VIOLENT ACT------to be silly and trite. Terrorism as a political or ideological TOOL is the issue of lots of national programs.
Terrorism as a psychosis-----is a subject for psychiatry and
criminology
