Medical treatment

I think a state should give medical treatment to a terrorist in the same way that a doctor would treat a murderer. Doing so does not mean that the state sponsors terrorism. Therefore unless someone replies with a good reason I will remove the sentences on medical treatment.

I believe it would be necessary to cite that the state did not properly detain and prosecute the person for terrorism after their recovery from treatment. Chidgk1 (talk) 19:30, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Highly biased

Just look at United States section and Turkey's. Nobody in living earth can understand why the US has little section compared that they support most terrorists on earth. Why don't include all comments other people's quotes when you wrote to United States section but, you include all peoples quotes as a fact to Turkey's section? Half of the Muslim countries on world constantly accuses the US to support terrorism. Yet there is no quote on them. --193.140.128.36 (talk) 11:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

At some point we identified a scope problem. The definition of state sponsored terrorism needs to be clearly defined before we go through the specific sections. I have added some of this - some studies consider it as inclusion on the US state sponsored terrorism lists, but there are other definitions that describe terrorist organizations as "proxies" in post World-War II warfare. Turkey is not known for engaging in much proxy warfare throughout it's history except for recent accusations about ISIL - even so the length of the content is an issue. (The same is true for the section on Saudi Arabia). An obvious place to trim content is the weak and minor sources that are used, especially if they are self-published on personal websites that have no editorial oversight. I have removed some of these.Seraphim System 13:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Citation issue in "India" section

Section claims Sri Lanka has accused India of sponsoring terrorism but the linked citation shows exactly the opposite; an errant minister redacting his statement
