Big shocker, someone from the left is defending Muslims and trying to make white men look evil.

Also, AOC is not understanding the difference between terrorism and a hate crime.

Terrorism is an attack meant to instill fear into a civilian population in order to advance a political agenda. For example, 9/11 was meant to scare Americans from supporting the US interfering in middle-eastern matters.

A hate crime is simply meant to kill people of a certain ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference that the perpetrator hates.

The Pulse Nightclub shooting seemed to be a mixture of terrorism and a hate crime, as the shooter mentioned Allah as he committed his killings, but also seemed to hate gays.

The San Bernadino shooting was terrorism -- not "workplace violence" as Obama tried to claim.

These white supremacists killing people -- whether Jews, blacks, or whoever -- are hate crimes. They are not looking to advance any real political ideology or intimidate anyone, but rather just want to kill people from groups they hate.

This is yet another attempt by a leftist politican to say, "See! White people are terrorists just as often as Muslims are terrorists, but our racist government only brands the Muslims as such."

AOC wants you to believe it's just right wing hatred which has made people believe that Muslims are more likely than any other group to commit acts of terror.

I think you’re doing the same thing as her, to obfuscate most of these white supremacists attacks. They are mentally ill people who both hate their targets and think they can change policy. Their writing reflect they think they’ll be a tipping point to scare their targets or get their country to alter policy. They are mostly terrorists.

Like Vegas I wouldn’t classify as either as I don’t believe we know the guy’s motivation beyond insane. School shootings often fall in there. Just mentally ill people.

That’s not to say I buy white people are terrorizing black people more. These are isolated incidents and black people commit more violent crimes against white people, in many cases for being white, than the opposite. They face scrutiny and police harassment if they wander into the wrong white enclave. White people get shot or beaten for being white more frequently every day for wandering into the wrong black area. The Jewish and Muslim hate stuff is almost wholly political and terrorism.

But white supremacists don’t get a pass for being less organized and not having nation state financial backing. They’re still terrorists with goals beyond simple hatred. They almost always have political agendas and ideology. We won’t need to get the military involved to root them out, so they’re a far lesser problem at this point, but they are still terrorists.
