Looks like anti-atheist bigotry is still alive and well in the US.

Terrorists are people who use violence and intimidation for political and/or religious reasons.It seems more like a hate crime to me, I don't see where the political motive lies in this case to call it terrorism...
First of all, terrorism has no universal definition.Terrorists are people who use violence and intimidation for political and/or religious reasons.
Indeed it is my friend terrorism is more over to insite fear in the masses to believe in a certain way if i ever see the **** though im gonna break him till the only thing he will be able to do is read coloring books and drink food from a strawIt seems more like a hate crime to me, I don't see where the political motive lies in this case to call it terrorism...
You're nitpicking and you know it. It technically not being terrorism doesn't make it any less worse.And that means? ._.
First of all, terrorism has no universal definition.
But as we are talking about an American case here, let's see the federal definition of terrorism:
"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
- Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
- Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
- Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

It still seems like a hate crime to me.
He wasnt down playing it hate crimes are treated with extreme prejudice in the usaYou're nitpicking and you know it. It technically not being terrorism doesn't make it any less worse.
And you're arbitrarily making up a definition to make a provocative thread title. I didn't say the action is not a crime, nor did I contend that beating up someone for religious motivations is any less worse than beating up someone for other reasons, I simply identified the action based on the legal definition. This being a hate crime doesn't mean it's less worse, but it's simply not terrorism.You're nitpicking and you know it. It technically not being terrorism doesn't make it any less worse.
Dad beats his son because he's favoring a rival football team. According to you the father is a terrorist...this is plainly absurd. No matter how you define terrorism, there are still very well reasons as why such a term is used in the first place and a woman hitting a man with a walking stick for being atheist can not even remotely be considered to be an example of it. Occurrences like these happen all around the world daily, but no one is going to label them as being terrorism. That would render the use of the term mute as there is nothing different about it anymore.Terrorists are people who use violence and intimidation for political and/or religious reasons.
This is not nitpicking. You are intentionally trying cause a stir by using a provocative title that gives a complete misplaced impression of the subject on the people who read it. This is no small matter as you completely derailed your entire thread because of it, so this is not nitpicking. At this point I'm inclined to believe you did that on purpose, that you abused the topic by using irrelevant, misplaced and/or provocative terms to cause a scene.You're nitpicking and you know it. It technically not being terrorism doesn't make it any less worse.
