This is how the need for secular debate converts the obvious into bullshit. The religious leader who calls for violence in the name of god in his weekly sermon is the most obvious and common example of this. So this "stochastic terrorism" has been discovered and put to use millennia ago. What is more fascinating is that the ancient systems that have put stochastic terrorism to good use have also set up the mechanism to protect and absolve the terrorist and the "bullet" by cooking up an imaginary and untouchable leader called "god" whose Hitlerian orders are merely being followed, so the foot soldiers cannot be blamed. If the author of that article had actually said all this he would have been accused of bigotry or of being a religious fanatic of a rival religion. So he has to tippy toe around the obvious. The only way he can escape that accusation is by being non specific. And that is precisely what religions want. shiv
