Titel: s/islamic terror/ISIS attack/

Blaming Islam doesn't seem right...

...or we could simply use the real headline:

"Tom's Hardware Italy's Bruno Gulotta Victim Of Barcelona Terrorist Attack"

Yep.

It was an islamic[sic] attack but if the article wants to concentrate on their loss over politics that's their right. OP is twisting the article to their personal crusade.

Terror in the name of any religion should be called out by name. Christianity has the Spanish Inquisition, and that was terror by the state. Religious zealotry with violence is just that, and should be called out as such.

NOTE: This presumes that it's being called out regardless of the religion. In other words, you can't play favorites.

Terror in the name of any [group of millions] should be called out by name.

It doesn't seem right and I doubt it does anything but spread more hate around. If you're American (good odds, on this site) and a group of Americans do terrorist attacks in the name of America, we shouldn't blame "the Americans" but whatever subgroup actually agrees with doing this.

I am really sad to see that even on this site, where people generally try to be rational, my post was still downvoted so presumably people agree with spreading the hate.

For the record, I'm Dutch, have never gone beyond western Europe, am Christian by birth and atheist by choice... so none of the groups that would traditionally defend the Islam... other than that we are all human. People are taught values (in part) by their parents, possibly in the name of some religion, after which they often believe 'religiously' in those and identify as being of that religion. Attacking the religion is attacking them, whereas I'm sure >99% of them would never agree with this attack.

It's worth going through the exercise of finding the most particular category of people that the acts come from. So in the case of the recent waves of terrorist attacks in Europe, it seems more appropriate to call them fundamentalist sunni or salafi terrorism, rather than a blanket islam/muslim which disregards important differences within the (very large) community of muslim believers.

In the 190x it was also a quite singular group of anarchists, not all atheists or socialists.

ISIS isn't "in the name of" Islam, any more than American Nazis are "in the name of" Christianity.

Alternate title if we're going to point fingers:

"Tom's Hardware Italy editor killed in terrorist act claimed by organization created, funded and armed by the US and some of its puppet states."

I think it's more accurate too.
