Let's remember who terrorists really are

Let's remember what we mean when we talk about terrorists. You refer to them in your recent article as well-armed, well-trained and conducting well-planned events.

You give them too much credit.

They do not go into battle against an armed and trained enemy after they plan their despicable acts. Instead, they kill unarmed, defenseless civilians. They show up and start shooting as if they are ducks on a pond.

The terms "terrorists" and "militants" may be overused to the point of redundancy and imply legitimacy in a perverted way.

How about headlines calling these animals what they deserve to be called?

They are cowards.
