One is a Moroccan, both students, is this a mental health issue or are they a "silent terrorosts" and why now? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html Vast majority of terrorist attacks in the middle east are Muslims attacking other Muslims. Could be a Sunni vs Shia or Kurd thing. Could be radicals thinking non-fundamentalists are apostates (not "true" Muslims and thus traitors and non-believers). In this case, who knows.

Islamic terrorism had opened up a can of worms. Copycats are coming out. I am under the impression that the shooter at the church in the USA was motivated by racial claptrap and not islamic terrorism. Perhaps you are saying that if islamic terrorists hadn't have done killings then the shooting at the church would never have happened since the shooter there was merely copy-catting Islamic terrorists?

That is ok with me too. Perhaps permanent housing in the segregation unit; working allows them contact with others and may contribute to their feelings of comfort and being part of humanity. Quote

Thank you for noticing that I am an individual. I shall extend you the same courtesy. The thing is that we already have segregation in our prisons, it is used regularly and often beyond the guidelines established within the prison system. It is also used for reasons not condoned within their regulations - but because these are 'prisoners', few people care about that. Segregating people from human contact, in a small room and with a light on 24 hours a day creates psychoses and/or suicidal thoughts and behavior in a fairly short period of time. I think most run-of-the mill prisoners can and should be rehabilitated to become contributing members of society, but our prison system does not do that. There are some prisoners who cannot be rehabilitated - sex offenders and sadistic killers, for example. They need to be locked up permanently, in my opinion. Certainly, I'd support permanent isolation for some of them at least. And also for those who walk into buildings to shoot people, based on ideology or religion. I admit I may have a more moderate response when I'm not feeling quite so emotional, but right now, I really want that guy to suffer. Quote

Yes I'm aware that it wasn't perpetuated by Islamist. I was giving the black people in church as another example of people dying while at church. And yes, I think the recent acts of violence (mass shootings, massacres,) we see that are not Islamist-related are most likely inspired by Islamist terrorism. I can't remember, but wasn't there a terrorist killing done in a church in France? Edited January 30, 2017 by betsy Quote

WHen the "islamist" has been identified as the witness, will you flatly refuse to call it right-wing terrorism? Will you deny that the dialogue that you engage in had anything to do with it? Because if you're going to insist that whenever a person who self-identifies as muslim commits a horrible act, then we must paint all of Islam with that brush, then you should agree that when a person who identifies with your ideology and commits a horrible act, it paints you in the same way.

I'm not one of those people who fulminates when people like Obama fail to use the term 'Islamic terrorism' and don't really care what you label something. My interest is in getting at the underlying causes of people doing things like this. With the majority it's Islam, or at least, a version of Islam which is widely heeded. As for calling this 'right wing terrorism' I'm dubious. I've said many times I don't believe the people in the US who call themselves conservative actually ARE conservative by any traditional measure of the term, and that includes Trump, Bannon, Cruz, and their hangers on and fart catchers. I consider myself, on the other hand, to be conservative. And I don't want to be lumped in with the likes of of them. Insofar as you want to say this loser was inspired by political/ideological aims then I would say he likely is a 'right wing ideologue' in the way most of you like to use the term. Apparently he was an admirer of Le Pen, and anti-feminist as well as anti-immigrant. I don't really see how you can admire a female politician and want her to be president of France and also be anti-feminist, but then I'm sane.
