&gt; I pointed out that no muslim terrorists have killed people while attempting to kill drone operators (or other specifically targeted military personnel).<p>I don&#x27;t see how this is relevant. We already accept that terrorism is not justifiable, we&#x27;re discussing whether drone strikes are terrorism.<p>&gt; And why jump through verbal hoops with &#x27;people identifying as Muslims&#x27;.<p>Because being Muslim is not a terrorist&#x27;s defining characteristic. One defining characteristic would be a disregard for human life.
