I wish to comment on the use of the Terrorist label on this man.
This man was a murderer but was not a terrorist any more than the man who killed John lennon was. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.112.129.230 (talk • contribs) . 12:11, 2005 July 11
I took the following text from the terrorism page, lets see if mister Bouyeri can be "labelled" as a terrorist ;
21st century definitions (terrorism) of the word range very widely. They typically involve some subset of the following criteria:
- The motive is political or religious ( This is obvious, Bouyeri is a religious fundamentalist and he was "acting" in the name of Islam)
-
- More like the Wahabbi death-cult that pretends to be Islam.
- The target is civilian ( Theo van Gogh was a civilian)
- The objective is to intimidate (I suggest you read the letter that was left on mr van Goghs corpse)
- The intimidation is directed at government or society ( See above)
- The perpetrator is non-governmental (Bouyeri was not even remotely involved, or in contact with any government)
- The act was unlawful (duh)
-- Well actually, he was convicted for perfoming an act of terror. So that makes him a terrorist, someone who murders someone is also a murderer.--Soyweiser 13:59, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
-- Obviously the object of terrorism is to terrorize some people into doing or not doing something - like e.g. giving special attention and privileges to a group of people or not daring to critizise them.
BTW. if someone wants to make a psychological profile of this guy (and other young islamist/takfiri radicalists) perhaps this might be of interest:
Of Bouyeri, the Telegraaf writes that he “has a sickening sexual interest. Together with his ‘brothers’, he enjoyed CD-ROMs where one can see how to amputate male genitals. On his laptop he also had illegal images of a man having sex with a dead woman.” According to the paper, “Mohammed B. was aroused by gruesome amputations and sex with a dead woman.” The Secret Life of Mohammed Bouyeri
History tells us that many terrorists or radicals are in fact petty criminals and/or sexual deviants who have merely found a religious or political disguise for their disgusting activities. --BirgerLangkjer 14:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- The Telegraaf is, decidedly, one of the most sensationalist and least factual newspapers in the Netherlads. As a source it ranks slightly below the Sun. Robrecht 09:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
