    I wouldn't say that.

    From the article...

    I'm not trying to infer that he displayed diabolical qualities as a younger man but robbing people of their phones is not indicative of angelic character.

    Neither is this story if it is true.

    British Muslims "disown" the terrorist attack but it's all the UK's fault.

    Yeah, that'll help things.

    1) How do you define the difference?

    2) Can't it be both? I don't see murder and terrorism being the least bit mutually exclusive.

    We can't call it terrorism. That would offend the terrorists...

    They've released the name and details of the victim. Young newlywed and father. Army drummer. Looks like a nice kid.

    Also sounds like that there was PLENTY of reason to be watching these guys, including a photo in there of Adebolajo wrestling with cops during an incident six years ago where he'd allegedly been yelling that he had "the right to behead those who insult Islam." Yeah, I'd say you could call that a possible warning sign.

    And, the suspect picked up in a similar attack in Paris suburbs is -- a recent convert to Islam:

    He was motivated by religious ideology:

    And, he "was known to investigators before the stabbing."
