Can anyone remember the Fort Hood shooter that fired deliberately at U.S. soldiers while repeating Allah hu Akbar? How many did he kill?

That wasn't terrorism?

Can anyone remember the underwear bomber who attempted to blow up a plane headed for the U.S.?

Wasn't that a hate crime?

Can anyone remember the Fatwa issued on Zalman Rushdie for writing "Satanic Verses"?

Was that terrorism?

How about the shoe bomber?

Was that Americanophobia?

Arsenio.
