I read some where that this Mutairi guy also visited Pakistan sometime after 9/11 to meet some mujahdins.

You know the biggest difference I find on gupshup when you read a post on an innocent American or Israeli being killed vs an innocent Palestinian/Afghani/other Muslim being killed?
No, it's not that the dead American is labeled a victim of a "terror attack" and the Muslim is not. It's that you will never find a post by an American here that would say "yippee", "i don't feel any remorse", "I wont shed a tear", "seems like noone will shed a tear", or "woopdie doo" that belittles the death of that innocent victim.

Nonsense. Go to other boards and you'll see white American sentiments written in bold.
Also, quite a lot of posters here are Americans too. They're talking, aren't they? Don't their comments count for anything? O I forgot, they're Asian...
NYA: Stupid people worry about the verbiage that is used and ignore what the hell is going on. Call it whatever the hell you like, but it is murder.
An* American was murdered. A Kuwaiti was the murderer.
*Hundreds of Palestinians are being murdered. Hundreds of Israelis are the murderers.
*Thousands of Iraqis will be murdered. Thousands of Americans will be the *murderers***.
Proper verbiage makes things so much more clearer. Wish all politicians would think like this.
hskhan: Now, would this front page article be written if a Kuwaiti killed a Pakistani, or Malaysian. Nope. Who'd care. It would be written in some small article in the 'Briefs'
True. News paper pages have some value. That's how news spreads faster and makes people instantly aware of important versus less important. And we all know who is most*est* important.

You mocked how the American killed in Kuwait is called a terrorist attack but that's exactly what it turned out to be.

Yes , its a terrorist attack. If killing someone is terrorism, then all the murderers should be labeled terrorists. Why is it that muslims are the only people being labelled a terrorist when they kill someone?
terror: violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands. www.m-w.com

So you're saying the Kuwaiti, being an individual acting on another individual, was not a terror and hence his assault was not terrorism. Good. Glad we agree.
Ana, the American was killed because he was ‘American’, that’s what makes it a case of terror. He was not killed because the terrorists wanted his money or something. It’s really pretty simple to grasp.
NYA, now u're calling it terror, but b4 u said it was just murder, and now the Kuwaiti is a terrorist whereas b4 he was just a murderer. So verbiage makes a difference when it's the case of an American?
Pretty simple to grasp, I agree.
I was being sarcastic Ana. Do you know what that means?
^ No. :(
