Don't you think it's strange that the T word hasn't been used, at least not yet, to describe the situation and the pilot? I mean isn't this what the T word is meant to be used for?

Until his motive is deduced no one can know if he's a terrorist

Yes we do

Unless you can show us where he has shown his motives to be politically motivated.

You don't have to be politically motivated to be a terrorist

I don't know what his affiliations are that's a question for the german investigators. However we didn't have this information in the beginning, which is my point, that even when none of the black box info was known or the voices he wasn't called a terrorist.

No we don't, the investigation is still on-going.

As I said get a dictionary

But tell me why you think he should be called a terrorist

So being white lets you off the hook right? Every time a crazy white guy commits and act of terrorism it's never that,they always manage to find another excuse to defend them and mentally ill always seems to be the #1 excuse (Anders breivik)

Just to add as well Brevik was convicted of terrorism, then you have headlines like this.

He's white. Stupid western media

It matters not whether he was white, black, brown or purple with yellow spots.

The evidence and facts gathered so far, do not indicate any terrorist motivation. That may change if new evidence is uncovered.

The Malaysian airline MH370 pilot is not branded a terrorist either.

In the German's case, evidence strongly points to an act of suicide. The evidence for suicide is also present with the Malaysian pilot and this new tragic incident will lend more credence to the probability that both were mentally unstable and committed suicide.

But there is as yet, no evidence to suggest either had any terrorist motivations.

No, he has still committed a heinous crime.

You say never, I say Boston Bombing. Those two were white and called terrorists.

Anders Behring Breivik is a Norwegian far-right terrorist

Terrorism must be politicly motivated, there is not evidence to suggest that this most recent attack was terrorism unless you have contradictory evidence?

I don't remember Anders breivik being called a terrorist even tho he belonged to a dangerous right wing group/had extreme views.

Let me refresh your memory then:

I wasn't following this story from the beginning but surely before the info showing the plane was (probably) crashed deliberately it could have been assumed to have been a equipment failure?

But usually they call the perpetrator a terrorist before they even have all the facts why is this time different. And on the front of his motive it's still not clear and investigation is on-going.

Your memory is troubling you again, it seems. Breivik was examined and found to be perfectly sane.

Oh right. So first you say that no white person has been called a terrorist (people have referred to George W. Bush as a terrorist) and then you retract that and say only white muslims... Me thinks you're talking out of your arse.

You said white people were never called terrorists. I have proven that wrong.

What makes you so adamant that this most recent tragedy was a terrorist attacks?

We all know ISIS is behind the attack, but it is better to not give any recognition to any successful ISIS attack, as it will only further encourage their supporters and boost their morale.
