What's the Definition of a Peace Activist?

The woman who caused a stir (some would say she threatened 300 passengers) and caused a United flight to divert from London to Boston this week is a PEACE ACTIVIST.

This made me think: what is a peace activist? Does a peace activist make offensive reference to an event where thousands of innocent Americans were killed? Does a peace activist break the law by smuggling potentially dangerous items onto a plane? Does a peace activist make reference to a terror group while on a plane (which is 10x worse than shouting fire in a crowded theater) and how to make a bomb? Does a peace activist write for a daily Muslim newspaper criticicizing her own country's freely elected president? (funnily ironic to criticize a democracy when you're not in a democratic country itself, not to mention the wonderful democratic qualities of that religion of peace). Does a peace activist urinate in public in the aisle of an airplane?

Next time you attend a peace rally, keep in mind that these are the types of people there.

Yeah. She's peaceful alright, or at least she will be when she's locked up.
