i would consider North Korea's government and rhetoric to be somewhat terroristic, wouldnt you agree? maybe they dont put bombs on their chests and blow up themselves and others, but they sure due terrorize their own people with starvation, imprisoment if you dont agree with the government, isolation, censorship, while threatening to blow up the US as well...seems terrorisitic to me.

But they aren't deemed terrorists by the American government, which most of the civilized world goes by. The term terrorism has shifted to specify radical extremists in today's society. You don't call mass murderers terrorists but that's exactly what they're doing. It refers more to non-government military entities that target civilians for political and/or ideological causes.

^ you did talk about stereotypes in the same post you submitted lol but nice try. t(-.-t) these stereotypes of being ok with killing someone if they dont agree with their views is the base of the criticism of islam and the beliefs extremists follow.

I can mention stereotyping without "preaching" about stereotypes. As a matter of fact, stereotyping played a minor role in that post. Everybody draws their own line when it comes to killing, I jokingly drew mine. If a radical muslim hellbent on killing civilians dies, I don't care. If westboro members (incredibly ******ed christian extremists who picket the funerals of soldiers, gays, etc and celebrate the death of innocent lives without shame) die, I don't care. This lack of care for the death of scumbags is not what defines an extremist, as you seem to think.
