What is terrorism?
We define that as Americans as a brown, probably Muslim, wearing a burqa, and motivated by religious cause.
The Google definition is: the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
Do you really think the police and US government does not use violence and intimidation against their own citizens in the pursuit of political aims?
Who are the terrorist that kill the most Americans, then?

However you defined it, I think it is still more likely to get killed by cops. > Do you really think the police and US government does not use violence and intimidation against their own citizens in the pursuit of political aims? I was trying to imply that between the lines. But yes, that was the intended connection.
