At least there haven't been any casualties - yet.

The simple fact is you only have to

read the title to be alarmed and this is what most

People have an objection to if I understand their

posts correctly

Why should Australians be alarmed, the incident occurred 8000 miles away, and I knew immediately what the TGSE was referring to..........

This is the OP:

What part of that don't you understand?

1. Opmania is specifying the thread title, as alarming. Correct. 

No casualties, yet, is NOT in the thread title.

2. Why would Australians be alarmed?

Another "terrorist attack", is alarming for many reasons, including, empathy for innocent victims, whoever and wherever they are.

Concern for friends, and loved ones, in the U.S., more specifically, for some of us, too.

Are you saying that FBI has warped perception of what terrorist act is?   LOL

there have been many deadly

terrorist attacks not only in the

US.  of course people would feel

anxious when they read there was

another one.  its a global threat. 

if you read the thread, there are ppl

who have family or friends overseas.

At least there haven't been any casualties - yet.

What part of that don't you understand?

the title is unnecessarily alarming and

misleading.  there has not been another

terrorist attack in the US (thank God)

why is it so hard to understand that is 

the main objection here?

Why should Australians be alarmed?

Are you serious?  

Horrified would be another word

for it 

Don't think for one second that

Australians never shed a tear for 

the 9/11 victims, The French, what's going on 

In Europe , many many incidents around 

The world and there will be many more.

And don't even think that the people on here who

Express concerns about Islam , don't shed a tear for

innocent Muslims caught up in this treachery. 

Don't think that because people are 8000 miles away

That they are ignorant of the facts because some people

Are very much aware that there are two sides to every coin

And know how ludicrous it is  to believe that there is only one

[Anonymous]

you may have known what it was

about but why do you think some

posters thought the OP posted the

wrong link?  because they expected

to read about another terrorist attack

in the US. 

[opmania]

No what I am saying is the 

Link that you gave is to a very one sided 

Publication

[opmania]

There are many facts you can 

Find to substantiate both sides of

An argument on google, either in most cases

Is just another persons interpretation of the situation.

Well, would you discuss the points made by this publication that you think are not accurate?

One poster complained that the title of this thread was 'clickbait'. Of course it was. Most titles are clickbait - just like newspaper headlines. They are are meant to pique your interest and encourage  you to open the thread. If on opening the thread, you discover it does not tally with your preconceived idea of what it was going to be about, then, hopefully you will start  asking yourself a few questions: is the OP a valid comment? do I agree with it or not? Why did I assume it was going to be about something else. Was my assumption valid or was it  simply a conditioned response? If it was simply a conditioned response, should I possibly be thinking a bit more laterally and broadening my horizens?

I believe this incident in Oregon was an act of terrorism and I explained my reasons for this belief, i.e: it was unlawful, the perpetrators were armed, threats were made and others were called on to take up arms and join the fight.

Several pople have disagred with me but, so far, very few of them  people have put forward  any cogent  reasons as to why they believe it was not an act of terrorism. Criticising me for having an 'agenda' or posting a misleading title may be justified and may assuage your indignation  but it  adds nothing constructive to the discussion.

Does this incident qualify as an act of terrorism, and if not, why not?
