      this term is misused so often. did the culprits release a message that shows they were trying to instill terror to change the behavior of the targeted group?

        The far right is anti immigrants and very anti anything islam. Do you really believe that those crimes are not to send a message to the government? This is def terrorism same as the attack on the synaguoges

          i don’t see how this would instill terror in the government and make them change some policy. (change what btw. fireproof mosqes?)

          i don’t even see this terrorising a voter group big enough to influence the government indirectly.

          but i acknowledge that terrorists usually aren’t very bright, so if they are terrorists, they maybe believe it works like that.

            Terrorism acts rarely made a government bend to their demands or policies changes. It doesn’t have to successful to be an terrorist act

            If terrorists was not bright in a certain aspect they would never succeed in accomplish any attacks

              nah, terrorism is one of the easiest stupidest things, because it’s impossible to protect against. every idiot can start a fire or blow himself up. and even then, some terrorists fail, meaning they are the stupidest of the stupid.
