    No I don’t even know who you are. I’ve never read your screen name. You could be the initial person I responded to or just some other idiot terrorist sympathizer.

      no one is sympathising with terrorists for any objective application of the label, because objective application of that label is impossible.

        No it’s pretty easy. When you force your way into a place specifically to murder civilians with no other goal other than to spread terror, you’re a terrorist.

        You agreeing with terrorists makes you a bad person, it doesn’t make them “not terrorists.”

          terrorist isn’t an objective label, no matter how much emotionally charged language you use. what you described is murder. calling it terrorism is a political position.

              this isn’t a refutation. it’s an appeal to ridicule.

                  it’s a fallacious argument that doesn’t undermine my actual position at all, it just betrays a lack of ability or interest to engage with intellectual honesty.
