After having thought about this for, oh, about 3 seconds, I have now decided that
sociologist Mark Juergensmeyer is wrong for a different reason. Juergensmeyer calls Wade Michael Page's act of killing Sikhs "Christian terrorism." I pointed out this was clearly rock terrorism, since Page was in a rock band and sung racist songs.
But I was wrong.
No, this is clearly Bald Terrorism. Just look at the picture and you can see. Page was bald. Skinheads have been implicated in violence all around the world. Most noticably in Europe.
What will it take to convince people that hairlessness should be viewed with suspicion?
