Everyone seems to be missing the point. They list terrible atrocities that don't get even close to the same outcry from the world as the attacks in Paris.

The hackers should have also listed the Battle of Tours (732) and the Battle of Vienna (1683) where many Muslims were killed by insensitive Europeans. Where's the outcry about that?

tl;dr - You're confused about the definition of terrorism.

  • State terrorism, anyone?

    Sure not, it is not terrorism if you get the right do define it!

    • terrorism or not terrorism? [ ] 9/11 [ ] US drone attacks [ ] Charlie Hebdo [ ] Pearl Harbor [ ] Hiroshima [ ] mugging [ ] insult

      Neither you nor I get the "right" to redefine words as we see fit after they have been defined. Invent another word. "State terrorism" could be a rather contentious term for "war" and calls into question your motives.
