Just to clarify, he didn't mean radical Islamic Jihadist terrorist. He means the U.S. government, including Barack Obama, creates terror through its own policies, like foreign occupancy, corporate favoritism, and screwing up elsewhere (it's pretty easy to criticize and place blame). A little research will reveal a lot of inequity and unfairness in this country and in the world. To him, THAT's terrorism, he has a loose definition of what "terrorism" is.
Here's the video:
Also, especially as of late, U.S. and NATO foreign involvement is pissing off a LOT of people in Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and Afghanistan. This is creating a new generation of terrorists. Meanwhile, they say we're making "progress" over there, it's such a paradox. 2-edged sword. The more we cut em up, the more than wanna cut us down.
I see his point, but I don't think he comes off well when he says he doesn't vote either. I can see where he's coming from though. He doesn't want to support all the actions, and sometimes atrocities, that public representatives are responsible for. He's so right-wing, he doesn't even want people to vote for a government.
At first I thought this was just a stunt to create buzz. And it IS that, but it's more than that too.
This guy has over 600,000 twitter followers, and over 2 million facebook likes. He's a popular artist, and doesn't really need to create a "buzz" to get attention.
I think he realizes he has a social power, and a social responsibility. And being in that position, with so many fans, he just wants to shed some light to the suffering and TERROR that's out there when you take a close look at America and the world as a whole.
