Not All Muslims Are Terrorists, But All Terrorists Are Muslim

I heard someone say this today while talking about the latest Islamist terrorist attempt in Tampa, just up the state from where I live.
What do you think about that sentiment?

Quite a stupid view if you ask me. There are many white terrorists too who aren't Muslim. No?

I think it requires a short memory and limited awareness of terrorist acts which don't involve the US, but from an american perspective it's understandable. Terrorist is also a label which can conveniently be stretched to fit around plenty of one's enemies.
There may be a disproportionate number of explosively angry muslims though.

Terrorism as defined by who? It's a pretty ambiguous word. Anything that inspires fear is terrible. It's a really shitty word for use in a legal sense.

There's terrorism all over the world.. It seems that the U.S. just likes to publicize the Muslim extremists much more so than any other race or religion.

Terrorism as defined by who?
I dunno. By the guy making the statement, I suppose.
When I heard it I immediately thought of Timothy McVeigh who was Catholic if I remember right.

'SHOCK & AWE!' was not terrorism it was shockandawism!
Busting into your house at 3 AM with full SWAT regalia and killing your dog because you have two plants to put you in prison for 5 years is not terrorism, it's ... it's... um... it's, well OK, I guess that is terrorism.

A terrorist is basically anyone who forcefully opposes your way of life. So every soldier in every army who has ever fought would be considered a terrorist, by that definition.
I think the term is fucking stupid fear mongering.

Yes. Men and women of all color can cause terror.

Well its not true, absolute statements rarely are. But Muslims are involved in the vast majority of terrorism and wars these days, I would guess the person is exaggerating.

So then: Not All Muslims Are Terrorists, But Most Terrorists Are Muslim?

Not all extremists are terrorists, but all terrorists are extremists. Unless you're a pirate.

Remember the conflict in Ireland over religion, lots of terrorism for a group of Christians.

It is a lot for christians, but its nothing compared to what muslims do. Remember, most of the victims of muslim aggression and violence are arabs and muslims. What we see in on the news when they attack the west is just the tip of the ice berg.
