Here you go again whynotaskdon quoting Qur'an verse out of context.

Should I start doing this with Old Testament and New Testament to prove that Judaism and Christianity teaches violence and terrorism. I will not do it because it will be against the Qur'an and then have to go down to your low level. You are infact a terrorist.

The true definition of a terrorist is: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Therefore the only one that can call a terrorist to start off with is a terrorist themselves. Blow up a building then call a public official and tell them you did it and you will do it again unless the government shuts down business and you are a terrorist.

Hope that is helpful

Terroism is the act of putting fear into the hearts minds and souls of innocent people, by the act of senseless killing and or threats. Is it one type of person., No I believe not. Anyone can be guilty of the act of terrorism. If someone has committed the act of terrorizing then they should be held accoutnable. Just because someone is from a certain place should they be considered a terrorist? I think not. But at the same time do we leave our back door unlocked, no. To be careful and to be condeming are two different things and I believe we need to be careful that we do not cross the line.

I always find that Noam Chomsky makes some of the most pertinent comments on this subject "you cant by definition fight a war on terror". Loosely defined, a terrorist is someone that uses violence or the threat of violence to achieve an aim which may be political, religious, philosophical or scientific", by this definition the biggest terrorists are in fact nation states, sovereign powers.

the first time a "war on terror" campaign was used to justify the invasion and subjugation of an entire populous was during the reign of the first Bush - I am unsurprised that this tactic has re-emerged, you need to understand the mind state of the neo-realist to accurately decipher this propaganda, read Edward Bernaise on the manufacture of consent, this doctrine breeds perpetual fear for perpetual profit.

the answer is very complicated. terrorism tends to kill innocents regardless of who they are, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can make you a victim, i.e. The World Trade Center.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines terrorism as "a policy intended to strike with terror those against whom it is adopted; the employment of methods of intimidation; the fact of terrorising or condition of being terrorised."
Webster's New International Dictionary defines terrorism as the "act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; specif.: a The system of the Reign of Terror. b A mode of governing, or of opposing government, by intimidation. c Any policy of intimidation.
The definition of the term in the Oxford Concise Dictionary of Politics (2nd edition) begins:
Term with no agreement amongst government or academic analysts, but almost invariably used in a pejorative sense, most frequently to describe life-threatening actions perpetrated by politically motivated self-appointed sub-state groups.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines terrorism as "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."
When it comes to open war there are certain rules one must abide by, true innocents do die in open war, but they are considered casualties especially when cowrds hide behind the citizens they should be protecting, just look what happened in the middle east. There is no true face of terorism but, when you see the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and even what happens happening in Israel, the only face of terrorism is the radical whether religious or political.

OK. Here ya go.

On the same day he signed the Declaration of Principles on the White House lawn in 1993, he explained his actions on Jordan TV. Here's what he said: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel."

Who is he?
Hint: His initials are YA

The terrorist does acts that are meant to sway public opinion or to get revenge. They are the biggest and most horrible act that a group of individual can pull off. Depending on who you are talking to the terrorist can be a patriot to their own community.

What? Anyway I would say a terrorist is someone who deliberately goes after innocent people to cause panic. The U.S, Israel, and others have legitimate targets in mind when they sometimes accidentally kill civilians so they are not terrorists.

I studied this crisis in the Middle East this year and continue to watch it as our world crumbles beneath it's feet.
Terrorism is quite simply using fear as a weapon and using violence (either passive or active) against others.
WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS.
Al Queda is extreme. The kid that bullies other for lunch money isn't - but it's terrrorism.
We do it EVERY DAY to EVERY ONE.
Terrorism is just that. Mistreatment of the human race.

Terrorism refers to a strategy of using violence, or threat of violence, to generate fear, cause disruption, and ultimately, to bring about compliance with specific political, religious, ideological, or personal demands (wikipedia)

Any middle eastern group like al qaeda, hamas, hizbollah
The US (Iraq policy only, Afganistan was justified cause we were attacked)
Israel was attacked first so no
In that definition though, the UN Peacekeeping force can be considered terrorist

Nobodys perfect, but we dont kill civilians unprovoked, and niether does the UN
