Is The WOOLWICH Killings An Act Of Terrorism? by emmatok(m): 12:08am On May 28, 2013
We have seen and heard a lot about the Woolwich killing, but it is really an act of terrorism or just Murder case?
If those killers were not Muslims will their actions be called terrorism?
Why is the London Riot that lasted for more than three days not call terrorism?

I have a strange feeling that massive Racial and religious profiling is going.

We need to give crimes their right names and not all this bandwagon of calling everything terrorism.

I agree it isn't an act of terrorism. It's more of a barbaric murder than an act of terrorism. Perhaps, the only reason why they're alluding terrorism to it, is probably because the guy referenced Islam after committing the act.

Also, I doubt they will engage black people in religious profiling - that would be counterproductive on the long run. And may lead to racial tension. We're already being profiled for crime and "trident" was also created for that purpose. Anyway, we just have to be vigilant and I'm sure the black leaders are also watching everything as it unfolds. It's too early to cry out because what happened was a breach of national security.

Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective

True, but why is media painting the picture of terrorism when it is clear of murder.
