Cheese makes a decent point, if you read into it a bit guys.
Muslim bombs a building, suicide bombs someone. They have and will be labelled a Muslim extremist, Islamic extremist, Muslim Fundementalist.
They killed for what they beleive in, and used religion to support it.
Eric Rudolph bombs an abortion clinic, and he isn't labelled a Christian terrorist, except for he did it and followed the same criteria as the other terrorist I described. Thought what he was doing what was right, used religion as his excuse for it.
On that level, the labels we place on these 2 seperate incidents are biased, because one hits a lot closer to home and that is the predominant religion in our society.
At the root of it, both were acts of Terrorism caused by the person in questions religious beleifs and convictions. They get labelled differently, and that guys is Cheese's point through my eyes.
