I think social media is the main thing that drives radicalisation. More than any media organisation or personality.

If you class the mail online as social media then I agree

Have you researched to find out, what you think, is true?

Or are you just having a wild stab in the dark?

My opinion based on what I see online and read.

The DUP founder ..Rev Ian Paisley..most likely was the biggest hate preacher in Europe ..and some folk still fawn over him...As vicious as he was...I could never blame hm for the actions of those that murdered innocents

By the definition or terrorist, and lets face it - what else have you got

this lone wolf was no terrorist, even though it obviously would help f he is so we can say "see its not just Islam its EVERYBODY"

"A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims"

The guy's a terrorist

And a guy who uses unlawful and pre-meditated violence against a specific race or religion for political reasons is a terrorist.

correct and what political aims did this alki welshman have?

I'm keen to know what part of "driving a van into a crowd of civilians whilst shouting about how you want to kill Muslims" you're so keen to excuse (the latter part about wanting to get rid of Muslims, much as ISIS want to get rid of whoever they deem to be "non-believers" aka everyone but ISIS, seeming rather like a political and/or religious aim)

I'd say he was radicalised by right wing media like the Mail that makes millions from sowing seeds of hatred and fear, to suggest he watched a TV show and decided to attempt mass murder is both insulting and offensive. The article is nothing more but one of the key offenders in inciting hatred trying to pass the buck.

If islamic extremists are to blame for creating and radicalising muslim terrorists then it only makes sense that Right Wing media can be held responsible for radicalising Right Wing terrorists.

The DM creates terrorists now!

Nothing to do the ideology and warped mindsets of those that buy into control and murder via religion - just blame the Daily Mail.

I really have heard it all now.

The show he watched was the straw that broke the camel's back and set him off on a violent path. He almost certainly had a certain preconditioned mindset for a long time before that, though, and that comes from our lovely great British tabloids.

Nothing to do we all the ISIS terror attacks then - couldn't possibly be that.

Are you saying that you believe he was provoked / justified?

[jaxie]

As I always understood it a terrorist was someone who committed atrosities in the name of some sort of political or religious organisation.

Is this guy affiliated with some organisation, like does he have links to the EDL or something? Or is he a lone racist loony trying to commit mass murder? If groups like EDL start to buy into this form of terrorism we are going to find ourselves in the middle of a war zone pretty fast.

It doesn't necessarily have to be in the name of an organisation afaik - just an ideology

At 51 he was not as old as the original impression given. Though he had been fitted with a pacemaker, it seems the cause of his collapse shortly before the attack was a known weakness in one of his legs, not a heart attack or anything of that sort. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being crushed by the van whilst on the ground receiving first aid for his leg problem.

Seven people are still in hospital, three of them critically ill. One of them is a mother of three children who is in a coma.

The white supremacist murdering a member of the Labour Party was not a "Terrorist" according to the press. He was a "lone wolf". The same has happened with this recent deliberate murder.

A violent political motivated attack = terrorism. And we need to stop trying to soften something that ticks all the box's.

Well as I said earlier as I had understood the definition of terrorism it was an atrosity committed by someone affliated to a political or religious organisation so in the case of Jo Cox her attacker was so affiliated and probably should be called terrorism. Although someone else said that the person doesn't have to be an affiliated to an organization.
