And the shocking one in Istanbul airport. 38 dead, many hurt.

Apparently 3 suicide bombers but one was shot just before he detonated his vest.

Edit - Just reading the one in Perth, that appears to be a hate crime against an Islamic mosque.

This is dreadful and so senseless.

Most likely incited youg idiots of Turkish heritage wanting to retaliate. That was my first thought after reading what happened in Turkey.

i assumed the OP was about the

latest terror attack in europe...

At least 36 people are feared to have been killed and dozens injured in an apparent terror attack at Turkey's biggest airport, officials have claimed.

Three suicide bombers detonated their explosives at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul after police fired shots at them, it's reported.

At least 147 people are believed to have been injured while hero taxi drivers ferried wounded people from the terminal.

So what, in your opinion, are the criteria necessary for the detonation a car bomb in a public place to be described as a terrorist attack?

Does it depend on;

The number of people killed?

The motive of the perpetrator?

The religion of the perpetator?

The political bias of the perpetrtor?

The religion, social status, or political beliefs of theintended victims?

All of the above?

Some of the above?

None of the above?

I don't have a god. I don't follow sport and I've always considered myself a citizen of planet earth. Much to the annoyance of those that insist I tell them where I'm from and if they persist I say my mother's uterus

If you are obviously from another place other than Australia, identified either by looks or accent. why would you (perceived) as being offended by being asked where your originally came from?

Perhaps they ask because they am interested in the person, not dismissive, They like to hear others' stories, whether they have a US, Scottish, European, Middle East or Asian Accent.

They want you to talk to them about your life experiences because they are interested..

Did it ever occur to you that most people who ask about you are, in fact, extending a hand in friendship?

It sounds to me like you have a suspicious nature,..... or a chip on your shoulder.

I dont follow any God any sport either, I just believe in Mother Nature and hope we dont kill her off to quickly, yes and I do hug trees I think they are beautiful, but I was very careful in Australia after being bitten by a Green Ant 🙂

No one ever asks me where I am from unless I am in another Country
