Well, it can't be "proven" to be political. That's a judgment call. Of course, it is your judgment call-- so you get to decide.

I agree with you that a Wikipedia definition is not definitive and not necessarily accurate. However, I think this particular Wikipedia explanation of the term seems well reasoned to me. What's your definition of the term, TH? I know you have moved things to political that didn't start there. I can remember if in all cases when you've done this a political party was named. But surely, if I named a political party right now, you wouldn't have to move this to political. I don't think it would have been inappropriate to have posted this in political. In fact, I too am surprised you didn't post it there.

All that said, hmmmmmmmmm. Our government sets up a sting due to Muslims behaving suspiciously? Thank goodness for that!
