They may be, but it may not be. Just calling it terrorism doesn't make it so.

Not disagreeing with that. Someone suggesting no-one calls it terrorism when white ppl attack a targetted group but they did. Instantly.

Agree, what's interesting abt most terrorist attacks is that they don't target specific groups; they don't care who is in attacked group.
-
They might not take care to ensure there are no members of their own group in there but there is a target.

1/ obviously, people on London Bridge is a target. But you don't know that they are all Christians, capitalists etc. And they don't care
-
No. Random attacks will always include people who don't hold the values terrorists are targetting. But pereived as representing them.

They wouldn't have done it if they'd been in Pakistan. It was an attack on the British public even tho many non-Brits got hurt.

No it was an attack on British Muslims. Ask those attacked.
