Is everyone just now learning terrorism means political violence?
Then why doesnt the FBI consider people who blow up or set fire to abortion clinics terrorism?
They often do.

"While the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has maintained that these actions are not terrorism, this article suggests that there is a correspondence between incidents perpetrated between 1982 and 1987 and standards classifications of "limited political" or "subrevolutionary" terrorism. Perhaps the FBI has declined to accept the terrorism definition because of its preoccupation with international events which are seen in terms of administrative or jurisdictional definitions."
That's from 1988.
From 1977 to 1988, an epidemic of antiabortion violence took place in the United States, involving 110 cases of arson, firebombing, or bombing. The epidemic peaked in 1984, when there were 29 attacks. Nearly all sites (98%) were clinics that provided abortions. The FBI still says that those were not acts of terrorism.
well, you sure showed me what went on....40 years ago
You're right. It's not like history is important or anything. Silly me.
Not really proving the point you think you are.
