Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lupin, did you even read your own articles?
The first article describes a hate crime committed by a man of Arab descent - we don't even know his religion at this point, and assumption is the mother of all ******** second article describes an unfortunate incident of what appears to be temporary insanity, committed by a man who happens to be Muslim. It is not specified as a hate crime nor an act of terrorism, and posting it as an example of "radical Muslim terrorism" is insulting to the intelligence of anyone who chooses to read it, not to mention insulting to actual acts of terrorism. This "rampage" was not pre-meditated, so it's not an act of terrorism, and he wasn't targeting any one group, sex, religion in particular, so it's not even able to be labeled a hate crime.

Please read your sources more carefully in the future.

Radical of anything scares me.. I am actually more scared of readical christians then muslims right now

Homeland security is supposted to protect us... They are doing their job, to the best they can (with their funding)

Well, if it happens it happens

This is not the first time a muslim man has used a car to run over civilians in this country, I don't believe that a mental snap was the only reason for that hit and run attack. And terrorism doesn't necessarily have to be some bold plan that takes months to come up with. I could just go to a train station and gun down people who come out of a train with out thinking twice. So crimes like this are considered acts of terrorism. Terror is Terror no matter the mental status.

And I will always look carefully at my articles ma'am.

bush is a terrorist by the definition. He does strike terror into my heart, because i am afraid that the constitution will never recover

Afraid of Bush?? He's a C average student, he maybe a terrorist by the books but come on does he seriously look like he's capable of "striking terror" into anyone.

On February 13, 2004, Stephen John Jordi, a thirty-five-year-old former Army Ranger from Coconut Creek, Florida, charged with planning a terrorist bombing campaign, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to one count of attempted firebombing.

As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped two other charges against Jordi, including distributing explosives information and possession of an unregistered silencer.

Jordi was arrested in Miami Beach on November 11, 2003, after his brother Michael, who lives in Alabama, informed the FBI that Jordi was allegedly planning to bomb a number of targets, including gay bars, churches, and abortion clinics.

Federal prosecutors said that an informant got close to Jordi by pretending to be a former police officer with similar views and that Jordi talked to the informant about blowing up gay bars and abortion clinics. Relatives of Jordi said that he had allegedly become more and more interested in initiating a bombing campaign following the May 2003 arrest of Eric Rudolph.

Eric Rudolph has been charged with committing four terrorist bombings from 1996 to 1998, including the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996, a gay nightclub in 1997, and an Alabama abortion clinic in 1998. Rudolph, who was captured in May 2003 after eluding authorities for nearly five years, fiercely opposed "race-mixing," abortion and homosexuality.

According to authorities, Jordi hoped to use his survival skills to hide in the mountains after committing bombings, much as Rudolph eluded authorities after his alleged 1998 Alabama bombing. Authorities also said that Jordi also discussed his desire to kill President Bush and former President Clinton, but was dissuaded by the informant. Before his arrest, Jordi allegedly ordered books on explosives and staked out targets in South Florida.
