Terror List

Two American backpackers were recently stabbed to death in Australia by a French National who had no known ties to any terrorist groups. While the Australian police decided that it was not an act of terrorism, the US said it was. The assailant said “allahu akbar” when he killed the two victims, but the police decided that this was not enough to label him a terrorist, especially when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It seems to just be another case of the government trying to make US citizens scared of the Islamic people. It makes no sense that the US government would count this as a terrorist attack when the Australian police didn’t. The man who killed the two backpackers was mentally unstable and most likely unable to comprehend what he was doing. Labeling him as a terrorist has done nothing but make the parents relive their children’s deaths, as well as make others afraid of the Islamic people even more. This was an interesting article and is worth the read, especially with everything that has been going on with the travel bans and such.
