The traditional media continue to accentuate the Muslim angle on terrorism that is only accomplished with bad reporting and the bad definition of terrorism.

(58,724 posts)" I think terrorism today has been co-opted to only apply when Brown Muslim men commit acts of mass murder"
This is simply not true.
When a person commits a terror attack and specifically identifies the reason for doing so being a result of a particular ideology. And when other adherents of that ideology take credit for financing and encouraging said attack also because of a perceived affront to that ideology, it is insane to not relate that ideology to the terrorist attack - even if the attackers are Brown Muslim men. A Brown Muslim man who commits acts of mass murder due to a perceived insult to their religious beliefs and with the support of those who feel their religious beliefs justify such an act can rightly be called terrorists. People shouldn't be afraid to do so in order to avoid castigation from folks like Iftikha.

Todd should be fired, he is a waste of air time.
