In 1995, Timothy McVeigh, a white Christian terrorist born in the USA
detonated a truck bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building
in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring more than 600.
That's...one...guy.
I do get a chuckle over how the gut nutsies minimize the mass murders
committed with guns. I guess those killings don't count
because...guns.
Timothy McVeigh would himself seem to dispute your calling him a
Christian.
He himself said:
In his letter, McVeigh said he was an agnostic but that he would
"improvise, adapt and overcome", if it turned out there was an
afterlife. "If I'm going to hell," he wrote, "I'm gonna have a lot of
company." His body is to be cremated and his ashes scattered in a
secret
location.

So, I guess that would make him an Agnostic Terrorist.
I agree with your assessment that his bombing of the Oklahoma federal
building was an act of terrorism by definition.
Gee without the religious connection, Harry's rant really starts
falling apart.
I guess I can agree that McVeigh was a terrorist, although not in the
same sense as an organization like ISIS. The loss of life is horrific
and the same but once he was caught, it ended. I interpret "terrorism"
as having the added component of knowing it is likely to occur again,
by the same people. Not knowing how, where or when is what defines it as
terrorism.
We just never know when the next American with firearms will shoot up
and kill 20 people in a school in the latest act of terrorism.
Might be one of yours, 'eh? You never know...
I cannot understand the logic Harry uses to justify the atrocities of ISIS and the
other fanatic Muslim groups based on the shootings that have occurred in this country
by nutcases.
