Christian terrorist

[edit]

I changed the type of terrorist in the lede from domestic to Christian, and added a reliable source supporting the assertion that the OKC bombing was an act of Christian terrorism due to the perpetrators' ties (possibly indirect and circumstantial, granted, but ties nonetheless) to Christian Identity. Those changes were reverted and I disagree with that decision. Groupthink (talk) 02:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your own comment "possibly indirect and circumstantial, granted, but ties nonetheless" precludes the solidity needed to identify this as "Christian" terrorism. You have to show, without WP:SYNTH, that the motivation was religious and not simply political. You have yet to show that in a meaningful way. And, don't take this the wrong way, but I think it stems from a lack of understanding of CI and how it inter-relates with other extremists. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
