You’ve already heard about the horrible Southwest flight, during which Ali Reza Shahsauri screamed in Arabic: “Allahu Akbar… you’re all going to die.”
Don’t worry, though. We’ve just been assured that it’s not terrorism (although it certainly managed to instill terror). Why isn’t it terrorism? Because:
A spokesman said: ‘The FBI continues to investigate, but initial indications are that there was no terrorist intent. This guy is a U.S. citizen.’ (Emphasis mine.)
Well, that’s a relief! He’s a U.S. citizen. All of know that no U.S. citizens have ever been involved in terrorist acts against fellow Americans:
Timothy McVeigh, Oklahoma City bomber
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, (attempted) Portland bomber
John Walker Lindh, Taliban fighter & CIA killer
Nidal Malik Hasan, Fort Hood Killer
Anwar al-Awlaki, al Qaeda leader
