I invite you to read this article: Germanwings Flight 9525 - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The wikipedia article above describes the deliberate crashing of an aircraft by Andreas Lubitz, a German Copilot.
This article classifies the act as a murder-suicide. I have read other articles that let us know that Andreas Lubitz was suffering from some psychiatric problem (but still had a license to fly).
Now just imagine if this guy's last name was Khan or Hussain or some other Muslim name.
What would the conclusion then be, how long would this crash have stayed in the news, and what would be the repercussions?
As far as I'm concerned I classify Andreas Lubitz as a terrorist. Ditto for gunmen who open fire on innocent folks in classrooms, shopping malls, and anywhere else. If you kill unarmed people who pose no threat to you, you are a terrorist.
I'm guessing he was White Caucasian Christian - but do not believe these are important details. A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.
