The “T” word is over-used. What exactly is terrorism? By the American propaganda machine, it is any violence of Islam against Christian, regardless of cause. The opposite, Christian violence against Islam, is not terrorism, it is terrific. So isolated violence by two nut-jobs is terrorism. Shock and Awe that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims in an illegal invasion of an innocent nation of what they were accused, that also destabilized a region and incited sectarian warfare probably for evermore, is not terrorism. .Attack by the isolated nut-job does not keep me awake, anymore than does being struck by lightning. But being collateral damage in indiscriminate attacks by warplanes and Predator drones flying over my land carrying out death and destruction and with which I have no defense, would worry me. .ISIL doing terrible things in defense of their homeland and consolidating territory are terrorists. Even though what they are doing is probably not much different that what could be found in the War of Independence, the American Indian Wars, and the American Mexican Wars. People can be very violent in defending their territory or perceived territory. Attacks by Predator drones in foreign lands that are estimated to kill only 4% of their intended targets, the rest being innocent civilian people, is not terrorism. .Me thinks we are being brain-washed.
