Agree 100%. I was posting tongue-in-cheek because in the USA when a white merkin shot up a mosque he was just called a sicko. The guy in charge in the USA View attachment 28077 refused to label it as terrorism. Seems that term is only reserved for brown people.

I get it......

All of them are sicko's but that seems like an easy way out these days. Mental health and all that. We're not big on personal responsibility anymore. But i'll leave that there.

Truly, there is probably some difference about the terrorism that was committed say on 9/11, Paris etc. vs these types but it is nothing to do with skin colour and everything to do with religion and the hatred of the west en mass from that direction.

This today, while absolutely terrorism is a retaliation on the perceived image and revenge on how the west has approached islam and their assimilation (or lack thereof in many peoples eyes) into our society.

Are either acceptable? f**k no! Do i understand the reporting of it? Kind of. It isn't how i would personally go about it but i kind of get it.......it is probably reported differently over in the east too......you don't think there is media over there that cheer and celebrate when they kill westerners and equally try and drive hatred when events like today happen?

The saddest thing is, i reckon i could think of at least 5 people i know that if i heard they did something like this it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest and they would absolutely believe it was justified.......it is a level of hatred i cannot understand........

There is no solution to hate in this world, short of killing anyone who displays hatred towards another race.

Terrorism is terrorism, regardless of colour. Thankfully ScoMo has called this bloke exactly what he is.

In fact I'd go so far as to suggest, that in the eyes of absolute f**kbags like this nutcase, the modern reporting of terrorism as an almost exclusively "brown" crime helped create what they became...they view their actions as a retaliation against evil terrorists. And when the President of the US and right wing hero Orange-Utan Trump refuses to label a white man a terrorist I genuinely think it reinforces their own twisted beliefs.

It's not as simple as all that obviously. The US in particular has generated terrorism through their actions in the middle east for a long time, for eg. Everything is a "retaliation" for something, and you do have to be ill in some way to do something like that

Much like being a racist seems only for white people. Maybe it’s reverse terrorism

Yeah I saw it. Mad merkin was playing live shoot-em up Xbox. FMD.
Flaming terrible to watch.
Taking someone’s life is never acceptable, but in a place of worship ( I know some are non believers) should never happen.
It’s a safe place for all, believers or not.
Coward attack.

And racism goes all ways. Try living in parts of Asia as a pasty white kid. Reverse racism is a dumb term though...it's just f**ken racism
The most ridiculous term I have ever heard. Wouldn’t reverse racism mean you love other races to much?

I like that it implies that racism has been reversed....eg "I was being racist to some brown people and then they were reverse racist to me!"

Fitting given the sort of people who I usually see using it

It's funny how everyone was getting these adds, except mods.
Otherwise, why would the Twiz need screenshots?
And yes, they have been f**king annoying.
