The driver who drives the men who just robbed a bank to the hideout may technically had no part in robbing the bank, but the law sees it as conspiracy so he is treated as if he was a bank robber.

Similarly a recruiter or informant for a terrorist organization can easily legally be called a terrorist even if they have no part in placing bombs.

You personally? At worst you're an apologist for acts of terror who tries to shift the blame.

Calling someone a terrorist apologist just because of their religious beliefs is how you get *** a warning for flaming. ***

Yeah I need to appeal this because it is unfounded and done on false pretenses, I am not calling someone a 'terrorist apologist' because of their religious beliefs, I am stating what they are in response to them asking.
They are literally engaging in apologetics for an act of terror, and if naming that constitutes 'flaming' then actually doing it at least constitutes trolling.

I'd like a second opinion on this ruling please.

File a GHR. I had to do that for a questionable ruling.

The Moderation forum is the appropriate venue to lodge an appeal for forumside infractions. I believe the Moderators are just busy.

Given the context of him outright asking if the other posters thought he was a terrorist, I'm inclined to agree with you that this isn't flaming so much as answering the question plainly.

Appeal granted. Warning overturned.
