"Ghost-terror?"

i'm missing these aspects: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/18137343/the_fear_factory —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.118.73.154 (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic terrorist

I'm not going to edit it back out, but I wonder how accurate and useful this designation and link are. The article linked, Islamic terrorist, discusses well-developed organizations, theologies, and ideologies that don't seem to have much light to shed on Mr. Shareef. The edit summary says "all the reports" are calling him a terrorist, but

the reports linked here (by others) have formulations like "Shareef was acting alone and not in concert with any terrorist group, authorities said" and "Fitzgerald noted that Shareef only decided upon the targeted mall after surveying several facilities, and that he was not a well-funded would-be terrorist";
a Google news search for shareef terrorist brings up, besides partisan blogs, little more than such headlines as "Source: Feds investigate man who wanted to be a terrorist (Quad City Times)";
reporters can sensationalize as they wish, but the encyclopedia aims to do better, and I think this article should substitute accounts of the actual charges (e.g., he said he was motivated by jihad) to labels that our own encyclopedic accounts don't seem to sustain.

The article on Islamic terrorism, currently under the ludicrous title of Islamic extremist terrorism, is in shambles due to pov-edit warring. However, the terrorism template has Lone wolf terrorism listed. Shareef is like the shoe bomber. Both are Islamic terrorists. KazakhPol 20:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
