Teacher:In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Comment: Well OF COURSE it was terrorism! After all, the perpetrator was a Muslim, and it happened in a big city.

So what if there's no evidence he was political or radical? So what if he made no statement about his intentions or motives? So what if the police can't find anything to point to terrorism? What else could it have been?

You see, unlike everyone else, Muslims in big cities don't kill for any reason other than terrorism. They don't go insane, get involved in crime, abuse alcohol or drugs. In fact, Muslims in big cities are model citizens in every way, except for the rare individual who is actually a terrorist despite not being radical, political or even very Islamic. And even though a violent act is only terrorism if committed out of political, religious or social ideology, that's not true of Muslims in big cities. ANY violent act committed by a Muslim in a big city is terrorism. That's just the way it is.
