Summary The killer sat down in the church praying for at least an hour before wreaking havoc
(Web Desk) – While the Western media outlets and hate preachers are quick to blame all Muslims when anyone proclaiming to be Muslim is involved in an attack which almost immediately is labeled as an ‘act of terrorism’, the same courtesy is not extended when a Caucasian/White attacker does the same.
The Western media are often called out by netizens for this sheer hypocrisy, Twitter and other social media outlets are abuzz with the same reactions even today after a Caucasian gunman shot dead at least nine African Americans at a historic church in Charleston city of America’s South Carolina.
The killer sat down in the church praying for at least an hour before wreaking havoc. As expected, the American authorities as well as the media are not quick to even label this a hate crime.

The #CharlestonShooting is an act of terror. It was hate. To call it anything otherwise is irresponsible.

That’s the talking point of the right: “We’ll never understand what’s going on in his mind.” Yes, we will. It’s racism. #CharlestonShooting

My people, the #CharlestonShooting was a deliberate act of evil. Stop mistaking premeditated terrorism for cowardice. He MEANT to do this.

It bears repeating: the #CharlestonShooting is an act of terrorism by a terrorist against black Christians. White supremacy in action.

Its important #CharlestonShooting is referred to as the Terrorist Attack it is. The government has misconstrued the term enough already.

So what actually is terrorism?
Merriam Webster dictionary defines it as “the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal”
