Further context into this context

“Now I’m not condoning such acts of violence. Nor am I defending them. I’m merely citing the discrepancies between what is labelled and thought of as one thing, when in reality, they are, as in the case of the events that occurred in Norway this past Friday, the exact same as other heinous acts of terrorism…”
