Terrorism is a coercive attempt to change a social climate through fear or violence.
If you have a beef with a part of your society, and you kill people to make your grievance known, you're a terrorist. Your intention is achieved: people begin to think twice about the topic at hand, because they fear violent retribution for their position.
It's really as simple as that. I appreciate you trying to keep muslims in the spotlight here, but your logical train of thought has derailed. |
Actually a terrorist's goal isn't accomplished until the society has met his demands through intimidation. That is why these fundamentalist Muslims aren't going to quit.
Unless we find out this wingnut acted with others who are still on the loose Norway has little to fear of this happening any time soon. That is why we don't call every mass murderer a terrorist. Is what he did terrible? Sure it is.
