From what I read, I'd say yes. It was designed to create fear and/or terror in a specific group of people (British Muslims) for an agenda (likely "get out of my country").

From all appearances, absolutely. The only thing that would stop it at this point would be the revelation that he was driving drunk and that several of witnesses were wrong about him saying "I did my bit" or whatever. Otherwise it is pretty textbook terror.

Yea. He didn't target a specific person. He targeted a mosque, so he was targeting muslims, probably because of Muslim fear mongering. it was a planned attack against a certain group.

I don't get why people act like it wouldn't be called a terrorism. Pretty much everything I've seen so far has suggested that it is terrorism.

Yes, it certainly was.

Although I will say that I enjoy how it was immediately condemned as terrorism and the suspect was immediately identified versus motives unknown/no details like in other cases that we've become accustomed to.

Only the alt right and their associated hatemongers wouldn't call it terrorism.

This also illustrates an interesting point...when its brought up that terrorist groups use rhetoric from, for example, politicians or citizens here in America, that is anti-Muslim to recruit people, the counter is usually "if they're THAT Crazy and willing to kill people they were already a lost cause!"...

...well here we have a man who seemingly got so upset over the violence, most likely bought into the anti-muslim as opposed to anti-terrorist rhetoric...and willingly decided to drive into and try to kill a group of innocent people...Emotions are a crazy thing...Context and rhetoric can do some crazy things. We're better than they are. We need to be more careful about how we respond to or speak about these things.

All the Islamist attackers recently have been quickly named and law enforcement has acted swiftly on investigations and arrests so not sure what the fuck you two are shitposting about. Hell people on this very board were sure this was another Muslim before his identity came out.

And plenty of media still hasn't called this one a terrorist attack unlike in those situations.

actually initially they did say things like motives unknown. in fact there are still some people I've seen saying things like "seems bad but lets wait and see he might have just been drunk"...so it goes both ways...

in related news, the leader of that mosque actually might have saved that man. after the crash some members of the mosque pulled him out of his car and started to beat him, understandably upset at what he did....the leader and a few others ran over and stopped them, protecting the man until police arrived.

This. In the last terrorist attack they were identified within 24 hours and linked to terrorism

It's also fucked up that people immediately began to go "Look see another islamic terrorist" only to look like an ass later. That shit really needs to stop
