You did seem to be making the very specific point, more than once, that these people are one and the same.

"...the freelance nutters like Mr Stabby of Bloomsbury are just nutters like this Thomas Nightmare fellow."

“A mere technical detail, subject to the context of the belief system. Otherwise they're pretty similar imo.”

Do you still deny the distinction?
I should have said that I may have misunderstood that you thought they were achieving those objectives, and of course I didn't believe you could be thinking that. So that's that bit sorted.

The bigly point is that I do not see that the distinction of political aims stops them all being terrorists. Footballers and cricketers are both subsets of the category sportsmen. Ultra-right-wing terrorists and Islamist terrorists are subsets of the category terrorists. I don't see why this should seem mysterious.
