Kevin Logan made a good point - hundreds die everyday in Iraq abd Syria due to terrorism, where was their candlelight vigil? This is what gives radical views credence as they know we don't value their struggle, the media excessively reports and covers the deaths of 4 in London, but not 100-400 per day in Syria.
To me, terrorist means any army that is not authorised by the state.

The best way to logically attack them is to use their own definitions of terrorism against them. But then you realize they have started to broaden definitions, and that there is in fact no agreed upon universal definition. Oh, no [emoji44].

I would argue though that the most beneficial definition would have been: any attack against civilians motivated by any general ideological, political, or religious beliefs.

I can't accept this as a terrorist attack, the location is political, but he just looks like a lone looney.
That is something I can believe more that it is just a lone looney. Someone hoping for attention or misguided.
