In 2015 during a coordinated suicide bomb-attack 130 people were killed in Paris and St. Denis, and a suicide bombing in Belgium killed 32 civilians. On 14th July, 2016, 86 people were killed in Nice while they were celebrating Bastille day. And this year attackers in London, Manchester, Berlin and Barcelona killed 62 people.
Considering the amount of people killed in Western countries by Islamist extremists, we may argue that those bomb-Attacks can't be categorized as terrorism. The use of violence, which we have seen in the last three year in Paris, Brussels, Manchester, Barcelona, London and Berlin, isn't in order to achieve political aims or to force the government to do something. It's really a war. According to Robert Spencer, "Islam is not moderate or peaceful. It's the only religion with a doctrine of warfare".
