Why Is the Killer of British MP Jo Cox Not Being Called a “Terrorist”?

[Flankerl]

~876 years since Abraham ibn Ezra witnessed it all and still nothing has changed.

I rest my case.

Maybe it's just me but reading the OP and reading the last five pages of responses........this thread seems seriously sidetracked.

In the OP we have the question of whether not, as I took the implication and the nature of the media for the last.......oh.......fifteen years, that terrorism is often attached to Islam. Yet here we have a case of a political figure murdered by an individual belonging to a fringe political group.

So....I have to ask? Why bring up Orlando? Why bring up poems regarding the past?

Was the individual who murdered Jo Cox a terrorist or not?

That is the question of the OP.

So what is the necessity of anything else brought up?

What's the point? What's to prove?

edit: And to add...the merely two individuals who killed 168 people in Oklahoma and barely tied to any other organization were convicted and executed as terrorists.

Because he is white but the same media which labels every and nay brown person, especially if they are muslims, as terrorists and puts an entire race or religion on trial is now backtracking, denying facts that he was an active member of Britain First and did not, at any point, even during his opening trial stand, shy away from it. Yet we can't take his word for it, because he is "mentally ill".

People on this forum, so quick to bigot an entire religious group are actually defending him and that makes me sick. Despicable people.

Come on now, why are you bringing facts and logic into it?
