None Dare Call It “Terrorism” 0
Dick Polman wonders why suicide shooters are not described as terrorists. A nugget:
Here’s a little test: What if the shooters hadn’t been white Americans (a married couple, “the Millers”)? What if, instead, the shooters had been extremist Muslims who covered the dead cops with an Al Qaeda flag and yelled “Allahu Akbar”? Rest assured, we’d all be invoking the T-word in a climate of national hysteria, with Fox News fulminating about the lone wolves roaming among us.
Pakistan has suicide bombers. We have suicide shooters.
Other than the choice of weaponry, there is no damn difference between the two.
