Tijay90: Well...I dunno know the answer to @op's(self-justifying,pity-soliciting)qwestion.

Policewoman: I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THE O.P ASKED.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_of_Tripura
The National Liberation Front of Tripura (or NLFT) is a Tripuri nationalist militant organization based in Tripura, India.[2][3][4][5] The NLFT seeks to secede from India and establish an independent Tripuri state, and has actively participated in the Tripura Rebellion. The NLFT manifesto says that they want to expand what they describe as the kingdom of God and Christ in Tripura.

The Government of the state of Tripura claimed to have uncovered evidence to support the assertion that the Baptist Church of Tripura has been funding the terrorists. The NLFT has been accused of forcing local tribals to convert to Christianity at gunpoint.[9] They have also opened fire on Hindu worshippers and ransacked celebrations of Durga Puja.

jmoore: Because Muslim terrorists start to chant "Allah Ackbar!" as they are about to unleash their terror.

maclatunji: People, it is not a must that you must comment. You do not know the answer to the question asked on this thread? Just ignore, no need to try to derail the topic.

jmoore: HAHAHAHA!!! you hid my post because I exposed the truth

Are you afraid of your own Koran? I quoted the verses in koran that supported the terror attacks and it was hidden. Keep deceiving yourselves. smh

maclatunji:

No, my self-promoting thread derailer. What have those quotes got to do with coverage of non-Muslim terrorists by the media? You can't tell me there is a correlation.

toshmann:

Is it possible that the highlighted part is why it wasn't emphasized in nairaland ?

SensibleMusa: What exactly is this post meant to potray?

I really don't like when people kill in the name of Allah because they don't understand the holy book!
I hate it when some useless people defend these poor, uneducated, ignorant souls that believe they are doing Allah's will.

Dearest OP, When some people start killing in the name of a peace loving religion, then I might join you in your indecent comparison.

toshmann:

A gunman is someone who for some reason has gone crazy and is shooting and killing people.

A terrorist has an agenda. Usually not acting alone. Intends to affect policy decision via violence.

The Muslim who went crazy in Texas fort hood massacre is yet to be convicted (I guess). The justice department is yet to classify him as terrorist bc his actions are yet to be fully defined as terrorism. And he's a Muslim o.

So the terminology ( terrorist vs gunman ) depends on the motive of the violence. But let me ask, is tht your main problem? Whether gunman or terrorist, the name is of little importance to me. They are both despicable. So there's no advantage therein for either nomenclature.

Paschal007: I don't understand. If these terror acts were not covered by media how are you guys able to report it?

The gun violence in America are usually well detailed and covered by the media. You terrorist sympathizers can do better now.

Besides no one is stopping you from running ya own media.

BetaThings:

The NLFT is a christian organisation that converts people in India to Christianity by FORCE
You think they don't mention that name while converting people?



The NLFT is currently proscribed as a terrorist organization in India.

Or the Lord Resistance Army in Congo/Uganda do not?
And Hutaree?

Christian terrorist organisations actually fight and terrorise in the name of Christianity!

BetaThings:

So you don't mind the NLFT, LRA and Hutaree?

ziccoit: There is a primary school in my area with handful population of pupils-the leaders of tomorrow. The school has about 10 pupils who are Christians. Yes about 10 in total! Simply because the public school is christened Methodist primary school, the school authority mandate that morning devotion should be in Christian ways; IRS should not be taught in the class; no teacher should wear hijab etc.
Yet, the others schools in my area christened Ansar-u-deen, Ansar-u-Islam etc allows days in a week for Christian devotion; make provision for CRS etc.

I just don't know where to place them. Hypocracy may be too subtle.

BetaThings:

So why do you guys still bring acts committed to Nairaland to comment upon
Why are you not just satisfied with only the media coverage

How am I a terrorist symphatiser and you are not?
You don't like Alqaeda and Boko Haram; I detest them too
You love the NLFT converting people by force to Christianity in India but I hate them
You tolerate the LRA engaged in senseless killing of non-Christians in Congo but I detest them
You symphatise with the Christian militant group Hutaree while I frown at their acts

I despise violence against innocent people everywhere, you are selective in your choice of terrorists that you condemn
You find Muslim terror groups unacceptable but to you, the motives of Christian terror groups should be understood!
Sir, I believe that you are about to take over from Rev king to prepare you for your next assignment as Head of NLFT in India!!

Why does America lose its head over 'terror' but ignore its daily gun deaths?
The same day of the marathon bombing in Boston, 11 Americans were murdered by guns

At the same time that investigators were in the midst of a high-profile manhunt for the marathon bombers that ended on Friday evening, 38 more Americans – with little fanfare – died from gun violence. One was a 22-year old resident of Boston. They are a tiny percentage of the 3,531 Americans killed by guns in the past four months – a total that surpasses the number of Americans who died on 9/11 and is one fewer than the number of US soldiers who lost their lives in combat operations in Iraq.
