we must be ready to condemn this vicious knifing in the UK as terrorism

Posted on 08:17 by Unknown
Friends, now is not the time to quibble about definitions. It's not the time to worry about words and their meanings. Now is not the time for leftist resistance to the plain truth that we're in a war, and in a war, we must strike and strike hard. The terrible murder in the United Kingdom of an innocent man, brutally knifed to death due to religious hatred, must not stand. We must come together to fight terrorism and avenge the senseless stabbing death of a blameless man in our closet allied nation. We must call this for what it is: terrorism.

I refer, of course, to the murder of Mohammed Saleem, a 77 75-year old British Muslim who was stabbed in the back three times by a white man as he left his mosque on May 2nd. For surely, since everyone is in agreement that the stabbing death of a completely innocent person due to religious hatred is terrorism, there can be no doubt that this instance was terrorism, correct? I'm searching the archives at all the blogs calling terrorism right now and trying to find where they talked about the murder of Mr. Saleem in similar terms. Give me a minute. I'm sure I'll find it. Any second now....
