Violent Criminal activity vs Terrorism

 Arsalan Iftikhar (TheMuslimGuy.com) correctly points out in his CNN note that the violent events perpetrated by persons like John P. Beddell or Joseph Stack but the media does not label them acts of Terrorism. In fact media actually play them down. If they were committed by a Muslim sounding name or with  brown-skinned individual, would have been Terrorism.
 Whereas LaRose because she is a source of violent attacks through Muslim sounding names and calling herself 'Jehad Jane' gts treated with more coverage along with 7 muslim sounding names from Ireland.
 If you read about Prophet Muhammad's caricatures or cartoons which are not funny anyway you will find something like this
"highly controversial cartoons of Muhammad" were published........
 Quickly followed by the law of the land allowing free speech
 Nobody mentions, it was wrong on the part of the publisher to publish material offensive to a billion [people of the world who are then in the same breath blamed over protesting. This has become quite fashionable these days. Everybody wants to enjoy mud-slinging on the prophet or whatever Muslims hold venerable.
So is the case of "terrorism" which has become a fashion amongst some people who call themselves Muslims but their real religion and real motive is very similar to those who are making and publishing cartoons or writing books with such labels as "Satanic Verses"
 To my mind these are all acts of terrorism whether performed with a bomb or  gun or  cartoon or an article filled with filth against Islam/Muslims.
