Yet Another Terrorist Attack

http://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-39355505

Four people are dead and many injured after a "lone wolf" terrorist attack near the UK Houses of Parliament. Like the attacks in Nice and Berlin, a vehicle was used a weapon.

As if there wasn't already enough death, grief, danger, and pain in the world, these deluded death cults bring their lunacy into our lives by convincing impressionable young minds that they can buy themselves a ticket to an endless sex frolic in paradise by committing murder and suicide. They are a disgrace to our species. I'm angry.

Point: Suicide is forbidden

Point: Suicide is forbidden in Islam. So the terrorism isn't REALLY Islamic terrorism.

If a Christian murders twelve

If a Christian murders twelve abortion clinic workers, is it an act of Christian terrorism? Not to the media, if it's even reported on television. It isn't REALLY Christian terrorism because murder is forbidden.

This one didn't commit

This one didn't commit suicide. He was shot by the police after killing one policeman and trying to attack another.

Suicide may be forbidden in

Suicide may be forbidden in mainstream islam... but this statement is misleading. It is encouraged in some way in some segments of islam

Well, we are in a war that's

Well, we are in a war that's expected to last all century so it's only natural that the enemy will fight for all of that time. Heck just the other day the US bombed a Syrian school and killed 33 people. In some ways I think people tend to blow the average terrorist attack out of proportion. The vast majority of them kill fewer people than are killed in a typical weekend in Chicago.

In the case of the London killer he was a 52 year-old married guy with three children and a former teacher. He was born in England but he was a recent convert. He wasn't some dumb youngster.

Diotrephes, you wrote: " just the other day the US bombed a Syrian school and killed 33 people. " Really? Because the Pentagon seems to disagree. There is an investigation to determine if the claim is true about (a) an airstrike (b) the number of people killed and (c) that the bomb was dropped by the US Air Force.
