(np) The Merkel Fallacy

[David Morris]

The conclusion is fallacious.  But you do not define Islamism, so you
haven't given a reason to agree that "Islamism is a form of terrorism."
 What is Islamism, and what makes it terrorism?

Zionism is a form of terrorism.  White Supremacy (KKK) is a form of
terrorism.  South African Aparthiedism was a form of terrorism.  Bad cops
killing innocent Blacks is a form of terrorism.  IRA and British
nationalists were both terrorists.  The list is endless...  And religion
was not really its core motive.  It was tribalism.

Terrorism is usually thé tactic of an oppressed population against a
superior power.  But that isnt even its most frequent model.  Was Hitler a
terrorist?  Of course hé was.
