Maybe by the lunatic fringe but it certainly isn’t focused on by the mainstream media.. He certainly isn’t defined or known as a terrorist..

I can name another half-dozen non-Muslims who were labelled terrorists and someone has already posted a ‘Time’ magazine cover with a non-Muslim terrorist but I expect you will just ignore all that.. Again, for those with comprehansion issues, ‘just’ killing a large no of people doesn’t make someone a terrorist, it’s the REASONING behind it hence Timothy Mcveigh and several others are correctly labelled terrorists..

Seems a lot of ppl here are just trying to play with words to make themselves feel better (getting a sense of deja-vu thinking about it, anyone remember PrincessJ’s ‘non-Muslim honour killing’ thread )..

You do realize the original reporting of the case stated that it was most-likely Arab terrorists because the media focused on that right? Even the New York times followed a similar vein of reporting.

Yes he was defined as a terrorist. He was charged under terrorism laws. How can you be charged for terrorism and not be a terrorist - please explain that to me. Google the case. All his convictions were under the Terrorism laws of whatever state he was prosecuted in.

And lastly there are two different set of jurisdiction for Muslims and non-Muslims. All Muslim terrorists are held without due process and without civilian representation in military facilities. Of course with the exception of John Allen a US military vet for the Gulf war. But I have yet to see a non-muslim be charged with terrorism charges other than Timothy McVeigh.

Hell even Jihad Jane was classified as a Terrorist but held in a couple of local jails and given due process.

I will happily admit my mistake if you can find examples of people who have committed terrorism and been treated the same as Muslim terrorists in the US.

Just so you know this is also the point of view of the ACLU.
