Well, both statements would be an or your opinion. But, as the court specifically investigated, these are the only facts we have atm, quote:
"She told Alid that psychiatric reports found no evidence of psychosis “or any other serious mental illness”
"Also The judge, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, told Alid he had “hoped to frighten the people of Britain and undermine the freedoms they enjoy” when he murdered Carney in a terrorist attack.
Also I'd put all kind of atacks as terroristic using a broader definition because a so called " political motivation".
Generally, I'd consider extreme right atacks equally terroristic. So, you mention thousands of atacks by right winged extremist, I know they've been raising. Happen to have some info on that, for comparison?
I don't see the need to downplay any kind of terroristic atack, by whatever political motivation they might have, whether , right/ left/anarchist or whatever. It's the killing of innocents that has me worried.
No one in their right mind goes out and stabs their flatmate and a random 70 year old passerby, not even a wanna be terrorist. The deeply racist UK juridical system is not a good reference for deciding this.
And I am not here to do research for you, but if you spend even 5 minutes googling you will easily find that right-wing politically movitated violent crime easily dwarfs those figures (despite systematic under reporting of those by the police).
And while you are at it, look up domestic violence figures which are also orders of magnitude higher, even if you just count the ones with deaths or serious injuries.
