Yes, it did. And the connection to 'honor' killings is what, exactly?
Both Breitbart News and/or Infowars talking points, mayhap?
I'm still waiting for you to express implacable, melodramatic opposition
to all Midwestern WASP ex-Army losers because Timothy McVeigh, Terry
Nichols, and Michael and Lori Fortier blew up a building in Oklahoma
City and thereby killed 168 people.
I might also point out that a 2005 Bush Administration U.S. Department
of Homeland Security internal report detailed sixty _additional_
domestic terrorist plots (mostly foiled by law enforcement) by people
_very_ like McVeigh -- crank right-wing WASPs -- in the decade after the
Oklahoma City bombing, aimed at government buildings, banks, refineries,
utilities, clinics, synagogues, mosques, memorials and bridges; plots to
assassinate police officers, judges, politicians, civil rights figures
and others; to rob banks, armored cars and other criminals; and to amass
illegal machine guns, missiles, explosives, and biological and chemical
weapons.
More recently, a review of FBI data suggested that 2.5% of the ~2,400
terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1970 and 2012 were carried out by
Muslims. By contrast, 118 of those attack, or 4.9%, were carried out
by _Jewish_ groups such as Jewish Armed Resistance, the Jewish Defense
League, Jewish Action Movement, United Jewish Underground, and Thunder of
Zion, jointly constituting almost twice the percentage of Islamic
attacks within the USA.
In addition, there were approximately 168 attacks (7%) by Christian
anti-abortion activists.
Those darned Christians, again. Nothing but trouble.
