By fighting back, would YOU be called a "terrorist?"?

Question

Is there any wonder why Arabs have begun attacking the US itself?

If YOUR family had been brutalized in these ways, would YOU fight back?

Answer 1

no...

Thats something people in the US need to learn. Pass it on to your friends.

Terrorists are not people that are fighting against us. Terrorsts are SPECIFICALLY people who are killing civilians to get across a message. For example, those that are setting off carbombs and other devices that are intentially designed to kill as many innocent bystanders as possible.

Thats why the people locked up in guantanamo bay in cuba are called "ENEMY COMBATANTS". See how the spelling is different from "TERRORIST"? Because theyre not the same. Enemy combatants are those that are armed and fighting back against us. We make no connection between the two, although there often is one.

Answer 3

Good question. I think Wikipedia says it well:

"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, and personal demands. The targets of terrorist attacks typically are not the individuals who are killed, injured, or taken hostage, but rather the societies to which these individuals belong. Terrorism is a type of unconventional warfare designed to weaken or supplant existing political landscapes through capitulation or acquiescence, as opposed to subversion or direct military action. The broader influence of terrorism in the modern world is often attributed to the dramatic focus of mass media in amplifying feelings of intense fear and anger.

"Freedom fighters are people who are in rebellion against an oppressive and illegitimate government.

These are thin lines to cross. So understand not only the politics but also the social and idealogy, motivation, and morality of it.

Answer 4

I know my family would, but we also wouldn't have C-4 explosives wrapped around our bodies to blow up and kill innocent people. There is a big difference between defending yourself and performing terrorist acts of murder. I have no remorse for terrorists on any level. I'm sure hezbollah have none either.

Answer 5

The winners always write the history.
The losers are always the evil villains.
Just think, if Washington would have lost the battle, he would probably be portrayed today as a terrorist as bad as bin laden.

Answer 6

No I'd just sit around and cry. HA. Hell yes I would throw everything I had at the enemy. Too many people are unable to actually think of other people's situations, it's easier for them to just write them off as animalistic and barbaric, just like the terrorists do to us.

Answer 7

Killing, kidnapping and exploding innocent people this is what terrorists do - this is not fighting back - this called murdering

Fighting back mans attacking military units, not destroying Twin Towers, but they don't dare to attack militarily - it is easier for them to kill and fire rockets on civilians - this is why they are terrorists

Her pal stuck it and presented it to her interest, so as that there tells me that this woman does no longer often do something like that deliberately. Then, she ought to were too embarrassed to staggering herself to you...

Answer 9

Since when did "fighting back" become targeting women and children to gain a stranglehold in the local populous?

Answer 10

No. My family is from Ireland. Both my parents moved here (Canada). The IRA is about fighting back. People keep their sanity when they don't fight.
