Baz1 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Has anyone heard- oh maybe you have not seen it in the headlines or on SKY. I wonder why? Because its not muslim related and of course America hates to call its 'home grown terrorism' as terrorists. No, they want to convince the world terrorists are brown skinned persons. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/20/washington.mlk.parade.device/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj.scuba Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 They don't hate the phrase, they use it as appropriate, and it doesn't refer to race/creed, it just means somebody that has grown up in the home state, be they white or brown or any other colour. Timothy McVeigh was a home grown terrorist. A quick search of 'US home grown terrorists' returns many results with that phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're, I imagine, predominantly white. ETA are Spanish, therefore white also. They're also called terrorists. The reason that it isn't big news is that if Al Qaeda blow up something, it sells papers. A home grown terrorist generally doesn't unless its something big and lots of people are killed. I'd call it sensationalism, rather than direct racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky News: Neo-Nazi Jailed For Racist Bomb Plot Sky News: Nail Bomber 'Must Serve 50 Years' OK so these are UK homegrown terrorists. Sky News doesn't return many results for US homegrown terrorists, which makes sense because it's a British news channel, so homegrown would generally mean UK citizens. So let's look at their sister channel in the USA, Fox News. Attorney general worries about home-grown terror http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/12/03/mike-baker-al-qaeda-somalia-terrorism-muslim/ OP proved comprehensively wrong me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report doesn't say who planted the bomb. It merely contains speculation that they were "home grown". But even allowing for the speculation being correct the muslim population of the USA is lager than that of Lybia, Lebanoon and Palestine, all of which seem to produce their share of terrorists. So I think you might have waited for a few facts to emerge before setting off on your rant. You should perhaps reflect on this...The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.
