I see our pet troll is back and implying murder is a good thing, if the sky fairy says so.
Could you get any more stupid? Or are you only interested in libel?
Grow up, little child, and try to discourse with some honesty for once in your miserable existence.

Nonsense. Whether an act is a terrorist act by any definition will usually depend on the intention of the person committing the act, as well as the consequences of the act. It has nothing to do with the number of people involved.
OK. But I'm not interested in trying to define terrorism. Tiller's murder might well rightly be defined as such. However it is grossly unfair and dangerous to paint all pro-life people as groups potential terrorists on the actions of one man.
If you can find groups who celebrate or condone (failure to condemn might even qualify) then I will gladly join you in rebuking such.

Does it really matter whether the man who killed (sorry, allegedly killed) Tiller was part of an organisation that advocated the killing of abortionists?
No, it doesn't matter what group he was part of.
Even if he acted alone, how does that make it any less a terrorist act?
Then every single murder every day is the act of a terrorist and you've just removed all meaning from the word.

Approving of Tiller's killer while deploring Osama Bin Laden is purely and simply hypocritical.
Can you point to one source that is saying any such thing?

I was not attempting to define terrorism, Mikaere. It is just profoundly disingenuous and dangerous to start painting entire groups of people as potential terrorists on the actions of one man.

Russell. If you can point to the pro-life organisations that are celebrating Tiller's murder then you might be justified in linking the pro-life label to terrorism. Perhaps if you could find someone who said unequivocally that "This was not a murder, it's just a very late term abortion", then you might have a point.
If you're going to compare Tiller's murder to things like Islamic jihadist murders then you're going to have to find the pro-life groups that do not say, "I do not condone the murder of George Tiller". You're going to have to find the ones that start dancing in the streets at the idea of their enemies' deaths.
Until such a time, and, who knows, you might even find such a group, you are being very irresponsible to suggest this is anything like what should rightly be called terrorism.
When you do find evidence of leaders, organisations and groups celebrating Tiller's murder I will happily join you in condemnation of those groups.

Why would any sane person fight for what other people must teach their kids?
Why not just teach your children yourself?

There's nothing I can do about it. I was born this way. :)

Homosexuals are so gay.

Well done, Sacha. I believe if one more person denies the validity of what I say through the use of an insult and something that must be the local equivalent of humour you will have an airtight case.
