        Their headlines are consistently obscurantist. Sometimes it's a truck and not even a person.

        Why not terrorism charges? Or his face doesn't fit the bill?! Should be one rule for all #doublestandards #LondonAcidAttack

        Terrorism requires a political or religious motive. The mosque van attack by a white non-Muslim man was rightly treated as terrorism.

        In this case the perpetrators actions were exactly that of the white van driver. Hatred against Muslims and that is political also religious

        It was caused by hate but that doesn't mean terrorism automatically. Additional charges may be added. I'm just glad they finally got him.

        hate is terrorism. No doubt about that. Since he is non muslim, it doesn't applied automatically!

        There have been Muslims who have thrown acid and it wasn't treated as terrorism, because it wasn't. This case may turn out to be terrorism.

        targeting people for their background or how they dress is terrorism. Period.

        No that's the definition of a hate crime. This might be terrorism, it depends what other proof there is - it can be both.

        The maximum sentence for an acid attack is life imprisonment. Which hopefully is what he will get.

        The maximum sentence in acid attacks is life imprisonment anyway, thankfully, and hopefully that's what he gets.

        It IS being reported. TV presenter Katie Piper, some boys at a station, a man in a cinema, a woman at her front door, an "honour" attack.

        Yes, all covered by MSM. Katie Piper has had TV shows broadcast in the UK & US (4, ABC, OWN) in which she's spoken about the attack on her.
