The massacre at Virginia Tech was committed by an Asian man; the Boston bombings were by two Chechen nationals; -but yes- the rest of the scumbags, to include the murderer of 5 little girls at an Amish schoolhouse in 2006, were white American males. John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy were too. All but the VT shooter and Boston bombers were known Christians.
I keep hearing Muslims are terrorists and against American. But Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora, OKC, Colorado, Washington College Campus, Virginia Tech, Boston and 5 other mass murders shootings, were by American White Men? Right? I didn't read they were Muslim and they didn't look Muslim or Middle Eastern.
Muslims aren't terrorists but many terrorists are Muslims. What's happening with the mass murders in the US is another problem altogether and is directly linked to the strict interpretation of the Second Amendment which allows unsuitable, unstable people to own guns.,
Not all Muslims are terrorist, and not all terrorists are Muslims. Any extremist(s) who uses a violence and mayhem to try to coerce people or a government is(are) a terrorist.
The terrorist that are in the news the most these days are radicalizes or extremist Muslims. They have decided a to wage a jihadist war against those who do not want to follow their way of life. Fifty years ago in the US it was the KKK that were the terrorist in the news.
Also not all Muslims are of Middle Eastern decent. I have met black Muslims and white Muslims. I haven't met any Asian Muslims, but I would bet there are some.
We have a problem with getting help to those who need a mental health professional. The Aurora shooter was reported to the authorties as needing help. People called the police for a well ness check on him. They even went to his apartment, but since he didn't answer the door they left and never went back. With the Virginia Tech shooting, a lot of people said he was odd and seemed off. No one ever asked that he be checked on or talked to. Sandy Hook, same thing. Many people knew the shooter wasn't not stable. Why his mother would keep guns in the house with someone who has mental issues is totally beyond me.
Too many people are afraid of offending others instead of looking out for them. There was a time in this country when we would talk to one another and try to help our neighbors. Now too many people don't want to get involved.
Yes, those Americans were terrorists. But Muslim extremists are also terrorists. Anybody who fits the definition of a terrorist is a terrorist.
