How is the truck attack a cowardly act? I have absolutely no defense for the murderer and think he should be summarily tried and executed. However, really, how was his attack cowardly? He ran over people knowing what the consequences were going to be and jumped out with useless "guns" knowing he would be shot. How is that cowardly? Takes a lot of guts (no pun intended at all), if you ask me.
When law enforcement should be saying we are going to kick asses and take names, all they can say is that this was a "cowardly act". Looks like the real cowards in all of this are the leaders of the NYPD for not rounding up every potential muslim radical in that city and putting intense pressure on them. Then, after finding out at which mosque they worship, going after those leaders. Now, THAT would be a courageous act, but, it would incur radical criticism and the NYPD are too cowardly to do what is right. So, they just call the terrorist a coward. What kind of attack would make him NOT a coward? Please do tell.
It’s cowardly to the nth degree.
Calling it cowardly as if you could shame a follower of Mohammad.
I am not assigning bravery to him. I only asked HOW the attack is considered to be cowardly. Several have answered without sarcasm and with clear explanations.
I prefer to think I’m attacking the thought, not the person.
Hiding, sneaking, pretending, lying.
Agreed. Determined and evil would better describe the enemy. Don’t underestimate the enemy.
So let’s stop the silly paradigm of trying to defend with nothing more than civilian police work and fight the foreign war that we should have fought to begin with. Bomb the enemy’s homelands, until he has no more will to fight.
Cowardly is when a pack of ferals sucker punch a white woman and then taking pictures of her unconscious on the ground. Or sucker punching elderly white people.
Simply put Islam is, and teaches cowardice. It doesn’t take a lot of guts, courage to slap women around, bully them out of their God given rights to live free, and productive lives. It doesn’t take a lot of guts to join up with a team of cowards to effect bullying upon others.
Those are only a couple of examples, but if we look at Islam overall we see the epitome of cowardice in most everything they are involved. Some might say they fight savagely, and are cunning with their means of striking fear into the souls of their victims, but remember those are victims of bullying by beings who haven’t the guts to stand up for, and fight for what they themselves would see as moral, and righteous were they not brainwashed from birth into the cowardly acts of Islam.
Some say ideology is impossible to overthrow as it is an idea, nothing physical, but I do believe if the Mosques, and the Madrasas were limited to nothing we can see, there would be far less of what we are compelled to fight today.
Rationalization?
A first reaction is to think that WE are superior to them, and that if they fought us, “like men” they would not stand a chance.
Therefore, they hide in the shadows and attack our vulnerable people.
Thus, they are cowards.
If you think like them, which every book about war waging war suggests you do, you will discover that they will never, ever take us on in a fair fight. There are those here that think more bombs and bullets will defeat them.
There are not enough bombs or bullets to wipe out a belief.
So, that is why we call them cowards.
The opposite of cowardly is courageous.
If you don’t believe it is cowardly you must believe it is courageous.
How is it courageous?
Some have clearly pointed out the “cowardly” aspect. My point was to get people to think of WHY we are NOT taking action to destroy their will to do anything like that. We need a very harsh approach.
They have no choice but to use the cowardly method.
Because their agenda is one of hatred, destruction and murder.
If it were an agenda of defending liberty, they would be able to act openly like men.
Not like dogs the way terrorists do it.
Good point.
“Cowardly act” get more flowers, candles and Teddy Bears.
They can only use the cowardly method.
Because what they defend is hatred and murder, and can only do so by sneaking like dogs in the alley.
Our side defends freedom. Openly.
We are opposites.
Except in cases like this, where the stink of cowardice overwhelms.
