To me terrorist is someone that commits heinous acts that belongs to a group with like beliefs...... has financial backing, typically political backing.... or committed the acts based on the propaganda of that group.....Isis is one example.... the original KKK would be another example.... it is much harder to stop these lone idiots like this guy seems to be although his social media posts should have put him on someone’s radar.

Is there a huge terrorist Christian nationalist group out there.... I don’t get the huge deal.... is the word terrorist that much worse than the word psycho? It seems just a way to differentiate the two types of killers.... we can possibly fight against a terrorist group to disband them or slow them..... much harder to stop the random loner loser.

How is this guy not a white, Christian terrorist?

I mean, to begin with, he's not technically white. I've read things from he's the son of a Filipino immigrant to he's part Seminole, so genetically, labelling him as "white" seems mistaken. But then again, if Warren can claim she's Native American, who knows? As far as "Christian", I've not read where he declares a religion, but I guess it's possible he identifies himself as such. Definitely a terrorist though. You nailed that part.

There are definitely anti-Semitic on-line communities and Twitter handles. This guy clearly engaged with them.

So yes, this guy was a terrorist representing a sizable group of people. I am not sorry that this hurts your feelings.

His Twitter handle had Christian quotes. It has been taken down...

I love how people argue about his skin color. If it's white, it's got nothing to do with me. If he's Filipono/American Indian, it's got nothing to do with me. You guys are seemingly desperate to argue his non-whiteness as if his whiteness is a reflection on you. Quit with the white guilt. Quit thinking individuals, be it Muslim, Christian, black or white represent the whole.

And he may very well identify as Christian, but does he use that to justify his actions? I'm just curious. It's an unfortunate truth that crazy people tend to pervert faith to justify actions, and I don't limit that statement strictly to Christianity.

What do you think Muslim terrorists are doing? It's not run-of-the-mill believers strapping bombs to themselves in either religion.

The question was asked "How is he not a white Christian terrorist?". Pretty specific question. I answered. I put no significance on his ethnicity, just answered the question. What truly matters in all of this is remembering he's a nut.

Why do you think I added that last part about it not being limited to Christianity? Seriously Huff, pull that stick out of your ass and stop looking for confrontation. Not everyone fits into your pre-conceived notions.

Why do you even know the rumors about his heritage in the first place?...it's because you care about that.

That’s still not an organized group.... that would be like calling us a terrorist group bc one of us on volnation took our hatred of Florida and attempted to kill a bunch of them.... I really don’t care either way.... to me it’s just a way to differentiate a bunch of insane people that commit heinous acts.

Not really. It's because the question was asked so I looked it up. If ethnicity had mattered to me, I would have brought it up myself. All I did is answer a question.

You have a tendency to believe the worst in everyone. That's just all kinds of bitter.
