Theres been countless times, where they don't want to say the word terrorist attack. Also, it being a Islamic related topic. In this case.

By definition, anything that causes terror should be considered a terrorist attack if you ask me.

Who is "they?" The media? Why do people insist on letting the media, politicians, etc. dictate what's what?
I don't think it really matters what they call it TBH. Point is 22 people died and dozens injured. Doesn't matter what color or creed the bomber was. That's not bringing anyone back.
People get too caught up in the minute details ie. whether or not it was "terror."

So for this incident only CNN and MSNBC covered only 50 min of this incident. As opposed to 105 minutes of trump And Russia. When it happened.

I get what you mean, but people have to call it what it is. Islamic terrorism. And its been effecting Europe, immensely. Belgium, Paris, Manchester, Germany etc. Just call it what it is.

It has nothing to do with Islam though.
Call them radicalized terrorists from the insert country here.
It's the repeated use of "Islamic" that adversely affects Muslims. People are too simple minded to distinguish between extremists and true Muslims because it's so easy and convenient to be prejudiced.

I don't agree with it has nothing to do with Islam. If it were any other religion constantly doing violent acts, in recent times. I'd say the same. Report it how it is. All of these incidents have something in common. Religion. It just so happens its Muslims this time around.

Nah. They only claim Islam. It's not representative of what Islam is.

Representative no. But to say all of these incidents people are ALL just claiming Islam. Doesn't seem plausible either. It goes both ways.

if they're referencing their book of religion as too literal then it is da cause, and that goes to any religion.
interpretation must be cleary brought to da 21th century.

Maybe religion and any form of tribalism just all ******* suck period.
God isn't real, no country is worth fighting and killing for, humanity is in this together.

Does the Quran preach murdering innocent men, women and children? Or is it some *** backwards interpretation?

I do. People seem to think that just because people live in certain region, practice a certain faith AND carry out terrorist attacks, that the motive is automatically religious teachings and conveniently ignore history and modern conditions.
You okay with the stereotypes and the Islamophobic tone that's more relevant than ever? I'm not..

The problem with religion and nations is that nations and groups leverage faith to execute their agendas.
Frankly, I'm over it. I'm an apostate of Islam myself. I was born into the religion and now I'm done coddling Islam and really any religion.
If a groups agenda isn't to make life better for mankind as a whole then frankly **** them and everything they hold sacred.
All the ******* things humanity needs to focus on and instead we keep allowing **** like this and politicians who parlay it into an opportunity, to detract from what really matters.

You know what should really bother you? The lack of humanists.
We have people so quick to cite their country or their religion as their identity yet so few people who trouble themselves with the bigger picture.

Same can be said about the west. Someone touched on the imperialism of the west earlier.
Foreign countries and companies go to other countries ans saddle them with debts that they cant pay back and they have to hire their own companies (ie Haliburton, Bechtel etc) tk build infrastructure and "better" life there. Push their way of living on them. Meanwhile the people who were already in poverty in those countries dont get any better. Not defending terrorism at all, im def with you opposing it, but think about it... Foreigners come to your country, your home and promise you a "better" life yet they essentially pimp your economy and natural resources and fatten their own pockets. Who wouldnt be pissed?
