It's terrorism plain and simple.

I want to briefly discuss the murder of the abortionist Dr. Tiller and in particular the wording many in the media and others use to describe his killer. When people think of his killer the word's "anti-abortion extremist" come to mind. Personally, I think this is a euphemism for a single word that most people, especially in the press, are refusing to use "terrorist". Unfortunately, the West's image of a terrorist is someone who speaks Arabic and prays to Allah. This type of thinking is far removed from the reality that, both Christians and Muslims are capable of terrorism. Dr. Tiller was murdered by a man acting on a religious motivation, that is he believed he was defending the laws of his god and in doing so was doing what was best. His actions, violence for a religious motivation, is the definition of terrorism.
