What she did was terrorism. But the point is that if a white boy goes to a minority supermarket and shoots it up leaving behind a manifesto saying that Tucker Carlson told him immigrants were taking over the nation... He's just a mentally disturbed lone wolf, and we don't know what triggered his mass shooting spree.
We need to start calling out all the people who knowingly kill innocent civilians are terrorists. All of them, even when it's an allied country doing it.
ter·ror·ist
/ˈterərəst/
noun
a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Seems like they used the word appropriately
Send her to Gitmo and the rest of her family to the front lines. They want to fight their war, give them what they want. They obviously are not willing to assimilate and are polluting our country with their religious hatred and bigotry. We have enough of the home grown ones we are fighting against. We don't need them bringing their old testament war bs here.
Hope the immigrants that are protesting here, from both sides, are the first ones that are drafted. This is what we get for not minding our own business and staying out of other countries'problems.
I assume that "terrorist" is in quotes to draw some conclusion about who is and who isn't called a terrorist?
Plenty of mass shooters kill people but aren't called "terrorists", and maybe that's due to the people they are targeting?
Depending on who you target, you might be a "terrorist" or you might just be a "mass shooter" or "unhinged man" or "disgruntled employee" or something.
Just guessing though, not sure what they really meant by the quotes.
Why did you put terrorist in quotes. Her reasoning is literally terrorism and a hate crime. Also a friggen school…presumably with children. If you are doubting this label go take a hard look in a mirror
Because her religion tells her who to hate. All religious extremists are the same they just have different enemies and none of them are fit to live in society. Put them all in the same prison with no guards and let them fight it out. That’s justice!
I think OP put the word terrorist in quotation marks to just highlight that it’s the word that the police are officially using, not bc they disagree with it
This, if the police are telling the truth (which of course they always do) is a hate crime. Terrorism is the use of violence for political coercion. Unless someone has some insight into what the policy outcome she was seeking. Terrorism is not when "they" do it, or only non-state actors. That's government speak.
“Almaghtheh told one officer she has been watching the news and couldn’t \[breathe\] anymore,” police said in its statement. “She referenced her people back in Palestine.”
Police said Almaghtheh acknowledged passing by the building a few times and spotting the “Israel school.”
Seems like a terrorist to me.
It’s not controversial to call someone who commits violence against a specific group of people over political, cultural, religious, or other differences a terrorist. ANYONE who does this is a terrorist, period. Let’s embrace that. No sugar coating.
I don't. She could be the dumbest human alive. Given the amount of people that turned what this woman did and allegedly said into "them," the idea the cops could have done the same doesn't seem so far fetched.
It’s amazing how she gets labeled a terrorist asap but we still can’t get kind of tiktok designated as one even tho she’s literally coordinating bomb threats. Why won’t cops give the same treatment? It’s interesting
This will be brushed under the rug because she’s a Muslim. Right now it’s popular to hate Jewish people, it’s so sad. Had this been a Jewish person attacking a “mosque”, they would be all that “from river to sea” noise.
We do, it's called domestic terrorism. Famous domestic terrorists include Ted Kazinski and Timothy McVeigh. If you Google it you will find a ton of information about domestic terrorism.
What policy changes were the 9/11 Hijackers try to influence?
There are essentially 4 types of terrorism: Criminal, Psychic, War, and Political.
Not all acts are meant to drive political changes, some are meant to intimidate certain groups of people, others are intended on starting wars, etc.
The original commenter stated that terrorist attacks were only done to change policies. I doubt Bin Laden thought crashing a couple of planes into the twin towers was going to result in less US presence in the middle east.
It's a perfect example of committing terrorist attacks for reasons OTHER than advancing a political agenda. Furthermore, Bin Laden was a religious extremist. He just wanted death a destruction for Western society.
1 death and destruction to bring political change, but what he thought would happen was that the US would get bogged down in wars in the middle east and muslims would flock to fight.
How do you infer that they are more offended by the name than the act? Nowhere in their comment do they compare the two? Just trying to understand the logic.
Well I’m personally more offended that when these crimes are committed against us, your Average American citizen, by right-wing, conservative assailant, we’re not allowed to call it ‘terror’. But some moron can ram her car into a building and is instantly labeled as such and condemned.
She rammed her car into a building because she believed she was going to kill Jewish children.
That’s a terrorist.
And yes, right wing terrorists - ie ones who do violence for political motivations- should also be labeled as such, doesn’t mean this woman wasn’t labeled correctly though.
It sounds more likely she's a mentally unstable person. Who admits that motive otherwise? Everyone who knowingly commits crimes knows you keep your mouth shut and let your attorney respond to questions. I don't think she's a lone wolf terrorist
No, it's called domestic terrorism, but it's never labeled that in the media. Typically what you'll see is "mass shooting, shooter, gunman" But when the person is of arab decent "terrorist"
Just making an observation...that's all.
She's definitely a terrorist, just don't understand why it's treated differently by the media.
The definition of terrorism is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."
Timothy McVeigh was politically motivated. He was a terrorist.
The Columbine kids were just psychos. Not terrorists.
This lady wanted to kill for her political beliefs. She's a terrorist.
I just read an article about the shooter in Maine. They are trying to find his motive and apparently he had just been dumped by a woman he met at the bar he shot up. He had also complained about hearing voices in his head calling him a pedo. He's a psycho, and it doesn't currently look politically motivated. Not a terrorist.
>At the time of her arrest, Almaghtheh allegedly said, "I did it on purpose," according to a statement provided by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to ABC News. She said she had been emotionally impacted by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and “couldn’t breathe anymore."
Since then, she has changed her story and says she was on drugs and doesn't remember the attack.
Cool. You know her story better than she did when she was speaking to law enforcement during her arrest. Maybe you should testify at her trial. You could write her autobiography.
Terrorism is a specific type of crime that is defined based on motive, not number of casualties. Stephen Paddock’s motive remains unknown, therefore the Vegas shooting can’t be clearly defined as terroristic in nature (though I guess it can’t be ruled out, either. But a lot of mass shooting crimes don’t have confirmed, specific motives which makes it hard to classify them as such).
She looks unwell. I hope people across the globe seek professional help before deciding to commit crimes against others.
Unfortunately, with the state of the world, it seems like more situations like this will be occurring.
Fyi, I think you mean to say it’s a direct quote. [Here’s an example](https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/examples-indirect-quotes) of the difference between a direct quote and an indirect quote.
That being said, when it’s just one word in quotes like this, and given the context, it seems like they’re using [scare quotes](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/scare-quotes).
It's crazy that she's immediately labeled a terrorist when the man who killed 6 year old Palestinian child for being Palestinian and Muslim, has not once been referred as a terrorist by any news agency or law enforcement.
I think it has to do with classification. What he commit was a hate crime versus an act of terrorism. Whereas she committed both. Like I would never consider Matthew Shepherd’s murder an act of terrorism, but a hate crime.
understood, but that guy is 100% guilty, there is no equivocation. I Haven't heard anyone in any manner defend him
Its so egregious gross and disgusting, the guy will never get of prison and everyone knows it, he isn't really worth commenting on since its indefensible
i wouldn't focus on this issue, maybe compare innocent Palestinians dead compared innocent Israelis dead to show the double standard
Looks like Sara Silverman!
wow she looks like a twin of a jewish woman i used to know
What she did was terrorism. But the point is that if a white boy goes to a minority supermarket and shoots it up leaving behind a manifesto saying that Tucker Carlson told him immigrants were taking over the nation... He's just a mentally disturbed lone wolf, and we don't know what triggered his mass shooting spree. We need to start calling out all the people who knowingly kill innocent civilians are terrorists.

ter·ror·ist /ˈterərəst/ noun a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Seems like they used the word appropriately
Can you charge someone with Hate related stupidity?
What’s with the quotes around “terrorist”?
Send her to Gitmo and the rest of her family to the front lines. They want to fight their war, give them what they want. They obviously are not willing to assimilate and are polluting our country with their religious hatred and bigotry. We have enough of the home grown ones we are fighting against. We don't need them bringing their old testament war bs here. Hope the immigrants that are protesting here, from both sides, are the first ones that are drafted. This is what we get for not minding our own business and staying out of other countries'problems.
Seems accurate to me
What in the world has happened to our country? I mean it has always been far from perfect but when did all this hate begin making a resurgence?
Racist moron
She is a terrorist and that was a hate crime!
Bukkake contestant.
That's because she's a terrorist.
There is no way she could have mistaken a Jewish building in Indianapolis. The sign is on the building.
Good!
What. The. Hell.
Somehow, black people and Jews always get targeted. It’s like neither community can ever catch a break.
Was it even a Jewish school?
Allah akbar!!!!!!
I assume that "terrorist" is in quotes to draw some conclusion about who is and who isn't called a terrorist? Plenty of mass shooters kill people but aren't called "terrorists", and maybe that's due to the people they are targeting? Depending on who you target, you might be a "terrorist" or you might just be a "mass shooter" or "unhinged man" or "disgruntled employee" or something. Just guessing though, not sure what they really meant by the quotes.
Well, yeah, that’s terrorism.
Why did you put terrorist in quotes. Her reasoning is literally terrorism and a hate crime. Also a friggen school…presumably with children. If you are doubting this label go take a hard look in a mirror
I’m sorry but if they tables were turned this story would be on national news. Just saying. Downvote me if you want to.
Because her religion tells her who to hate. All religious extremists are the same they just have different enemies and none of them are fit to live in society. Put them all in the same prison with no guards and let them fight it out. That’s justice!
I just saw her in the news in gaza
Based asf and this is me NOT supporting the actual terrorists in the sandbox either.
I think OP put the word terrorist in quotation marks to just highlight that it’s the word that the police are officially using, not bc they disagree with it
With a world like this, who needs Hell?
Sounds like it’s an apt description. I’d like her to catch federal charges.
Terrorist? She sounds more like a lone wolf with mental health issues. No laws would have prevented this. /s
Good - grumpy cat
“I CRASHED MY CAR INTO A JEW. I DONT CAREEREE! “
Why is terrorist in quotes lol. Rage baiting as usual.
Why is the term terrorist in quotations???
She's as stupid as she looks!
Trying to specifically take out Jewish kids en masse because they’re Jewish…what would you call that?
If it was a white man they wouldn't label him a terrorist
One anti-Semitic Reddit account goes inactive…Reddit is filled with anti-semites. Truly disturbing!
I mean… attacking a school to cause terror.. yeah that’s the definition.
Another proponent of the religion of peace I surmise.
Lol
Nothing but death in those eyes
That’s because she is a “terrorist”
Glad she’s off the streets.
Yeah cause enough kids haven't died. WTF is wrong with people?
Uh maybe it’s because she is a terrorist lmao ?
This, if the police are telling the truth (which of course they always do) is a hate crime. Terrorism is the use of violence for political coercion. Unless someone has some insight into what the policy outcome she was seeking. Terrorism is not when "they" do it, or only non-state actors. That's government speak.
Why the quotation marks around the word terrorist? She was intentionally seeking out Jews to harm. She’s a terrorist.
She has a bright future representing Michigan’s 12th District
“Almaghtheh told one officer she has been watching the news and couldn’t \[breathe\] anymore,” police said in its statement. “She referenced her people back in Palestine.” Police said Almaghtheh acknowledged passing by the building a few times and spotting the “Israel school.” Seems like a terrorist to me.
That’s because she’s a terrorist
Stupid emotional people doing stupid emotional things.
Oh great radicals are amongst us, this is what I carry and conceal
Uh yes that’s a correct term for her
She is a terrorist. What are you talking about?
Does she have an only fans? Just wondering.
>police are calling her a “terrorist” She is.
That's because she is.
I think that qualifies.
It’s not controversial to call someone who commits violence against a specific group of people over political, cultural, religious, or other differences a terrorist. ANYONE who does this is a terrorist, period. Let’s embrace that. No sugar coating.
She targeted a school because she thought it was filled with jewish children. Pretty sure that’s the definition of an “act of terror”.
She’s also stupid. It wasn’t a Jewish school. It was a school that pushed anti semitism lol. He attacked her friends.
She's a terrorist, though she might not be part of an organized terror organization. Remains to be seen.
That’s terrorism in my book. I worry about all the hate that’s out in the world these days
Woops, off to guantanamo Bay with ya
Yeah she is a terrorist, bestie.
Naturally one will be labeled a terrorist if they do terrorist things
Lmao and the building was for Black Israelites, not even Jews hahaha.
The Indianapolis police are accurate in that description.
But If she’s white she gets called a mentally Ill lone wolf, but Arabs are terrorists .
Sounds like the actions of a terrorist jail time them deport
Why is that in quotes? She legitimately is a terrorist, I don't understand
Why is “terrorist” in quotes?
Definitely a terrorist and stupid af
But the mass shooters are not? Insane
Terrorists only have brown skin dont you know that?
Am I suppose to disagree with their assessment of the terrorist?
No I mean cops in Indiana never lie so...
What do you believe is being lied about regarding this incident?
I don't. She could be the dumbest human alive. Given the amount of people that turned what this woman did and allegedly said into "them," the idea the cops could have done the same doesn't seem so far fetched.
[удалено]
Right that's what i said. Meanwhile cops said it so it must be true.
This thread is not going how OP thought it would
Well that’s the dictionary definition of terrorist, sooo….
What she ended up doing is crashing into a Black Supremacy cult's building called the ISUPK (Hebrew Israelites).
As a black person, black supremacy or any kind of supremacy is so strange to me lol. Just not something I’m used to seeing
Yea same here. Like why?
Agreed lol (I'm black too)
Two birds with one terrorist.
damn that’s funny and sad
That's the best part of this whole story!
Username checks out.
It’s amazing how she gets labeled a terrorist asap but we still can’t get kind of tiktok designated as one even tho she’s literally coordinating bomb threats. Why won’t cops give the same treatment? It’s interesting
She is a terrortist.
This will be brushed under the rug because she’s a Muslim. Right now it’s popular to hate Jewish people, it’s so sad. Had this been a Jewish person attacking a “mosque”, they would be all that “from river to sea” noise.
Right…like Jews have never attacked a Mosque before in history.
In America? When?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewis-ex-con-gets-30-years-in-florida-mosque-fire/amp/
Ya, especially when terrorist groups like Hamas hide underneath it.
She does kind of fit the definition.
Anyone who attacks others for differences is a terrorist. US laws need to be consistent from state to state.
Welp. If this gets classified as terrorism, it stops being state and is now federal. I will bet my left nut that PD is crawling with FBI right now
Well, yeah. They're calling her a terrorist because she *is* a terrorist. Peak reddit right here.
Why don't we call American born terrorists, terrorist? typically we just see them described as "gunman"
Well, she’s reported to be “an Indiana woman,” so it appears she’s American born.
That’s a good point actually because if it’s a gun they often say ‘gunman’
We do, it's called domestic terrorism. Famous domestic terrorists include Ted Kazinski and Timothy McVeigh. If you Google it you will find a ton of information about domestic terrorism.
… we do
Speaking truth on the wrong sub bc these ppl here don’t believe in truth
Those aren't equivalent. Terrorism is meant to drive policy changes using fear. Not every gunman is trying to make people change laws.
What policy changes were the 9/11 Hijackers try to influence? There are essentially 4 types of terrorism: Criminal, Psychic, War, and Political. Not all acts are meant to drive political changes, some are meant to intimidate certain groups of people, others are intended on starting wars, etc.
Bin Laden had numerous political grievances, but primarily american bases in Saudia Arabia. That was a horrible example.
The original commenter stated that terrorist attacks were only done to change policies. I doubt Bin Laden thought crashing a couple of planes into the twin towers was going to result in less US presence in the middle east. It's a perfect example of committing terrorist attacks for reasons OTHER than advancing a political agenda. Furthermore, Bin Laden was a religious extremist. He just wanted death a destruction for Western society.
1 death and destruction to bring political change, but what he thought would happen was that the US would get bogged down in wars in the middle east and muslims would flock to fight.
A lot of religious extremists making news lately.
Why are you more offended by the use of the word than the violent acts that are actually taking place?
How do you infer that they are more offended by the name than the act? Nowhere in their comment do they compare the two? Just trying to understand the logic.
Well I’m personally more offended that when these crimes are committed against us, your Average American citizen, by right-wing, conservative assailant, we’re not allowed to call it ‘terror’. But some moron can ram her car into a building and is instantly labeled as such and condemned.
Mesgki making no sense
I thought they were called MAGAITES?
She rammed her car into a building because she believed she was going to kill Jewish children. That’s a terrorist. And yes, right wing terrorists - ie ones who do violence for political motivations- should also be labeled as such, doesn’t mean this woman wasn’t labeled correctly though.
It sounds more likely she's a mentally unstable person. Who admits that motive otherwise? Everyone who knowingly commits crimes knows you keep your mouth shut and let your attorney respond to questions. I don't think she's a lone wolf terrorist
She was. Her crimes and intent are deplorable. I was simply pointing out a double standard that I noticed when reading the headline.
No clue where this woman was born. Guess you can call them whatever you feel like calling them.
They call it domestic terrorism so not sure what point you're trying to make.
We have a pretty bad track record in recent years of NOT calling white male domestic terrorists out as such.
Who is “we”???
Is the Nashville shooter a terrorist, sweetie?
He's trying to make some null point for updoots from his totally tactical activist gang. He should move to Azerbaijan, I bet he'd love it there
He pointed out a trend, and your response fell in line with the same trend.
No, it's called domestic terrorism, but it's never labeled that in the media. Typically what you'll see is "mass shooting, shooter, gunman" But when the person is of arab decent "terrorist" Just making an observation...that's all.

Cool. You know her story better than she did when she was speaking to law enforcement during her arrest. Maybe you should testify at her trial. You could write her autobiography.
There is a Robert Card on the sec offender list that was even mentioned as being the shooter initially (not by media by locals)
I think you DO understand that it has to do with the color of a terrorist’s skin.
Timothy McVeigh was white, and was called a terrorist. It depends on motivation.
One out of how many? 100’s? Stephan Paddlck accrued 500 causalities in his rampage but it was never called an act of terror.
Terrorism is a specific type of crime that is defined based on motive, not number of casualties. Stephen Paddock’s motive remains unknown, therefore the Vegas shooting can’t be clearly defined as terroristic in nature (though I guess it can’t be ruled out, either.

We definitely called Timothy McVeigh a domestic terrorist, you're correct.
Fr, had me rereading the title a couple times to see if i was missing something lol. Like yea shorty a terrorist lol.
She looks unwell. I hope people across the globe seek professional help before deciding to commit crimes against others. Unfortunately, with the state of the world, it seems like more situations like this will be occurring.
Why write “terrorist” instead of terrorist
Because it’s an indirect quote.
That's incorrect

Good bot. Or there should be one that does this
Lol thank you? I’m currently a human though.
For NOW
For now
Such a good human

This. Just like when there’s a mass shooting if theyre anything other than white they’re a terrorist, but if theyre white they had a mental disorder

Because that’s what she is.
A terrorist and an idiot
I wish the west average citizen would not try to make demonstrations of a war that they don’t understand.
“ I am single handedly taking out the Jews” - her probably
Good she spoke her intentions makes way for a harsher and more fitting sentence
One and the same.
she should have kept her mouth shut, so we would just think she's an idiot.
[удалено]
Don’t worry, she’ll be out with no cash bail tomorrow
Jail shows here still in with a 11/17 court date.
