Why bring up the Bush quote?
Because the US has a publicly announced “zero tolerance” policy on terrorism, I forget what it’s called (The War on Termites? No. The War on Terrapins! No. Oh well, it’ll come to me). I’m sure there are more apposite quotes out there, couldn’t be arsed to find one.
In short, the OP looks like he was just trolling for a fight by trashing Bush, and couldn’t find a better reason to do so (and face it, it isn’t difficult).
Nope, Bush’s views on terrorism don’t bother me that much (face it, “against terrorism” is pretty much a no brainer (also not an anti-Bush jibe)). These people are terrorists under the UK’s legal definition…
“Terrorism” is the threat of, as well as the use of, terrorist acts to influence government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public for any political, religious or ideological cause. Where terrorist acts are defined as including “serious violence against a person”, “serious damage to property”, endangering a person’s life, creating a “serious risk to the health and safety of the public”, and “seriously” interfering or disrupting an electronic system, particularly (but not limited to) cases involving the deployment of firearms and explosives. [Paraphrased from the (very lengthy) Terrorism Act, 2000].
...and I am quite surprised that the FBI isn’t crawling all over them; maybe the UK hasn’t asked, I didn’t apportion blame. But surely in the current climate a US site promoting a terrorist group should be a quick route to a long holiday in Cuba and a natty new orange wardrobe.
