Everyone in this wrold isn't a capitalist. And to think that consumerism is driving world conflict. You all need to stop trying to impose your will on all the world and accept that not everybody wants a cell phone or an ipod.

Terrorist...What is a terrorist.
Well a terrorist is just a criminal with political manipulation in mind.
Wait...That sounds familiar. Like a corrupt government.
Major terrorist attacks are more often planned by governments, not fringe groups with nothing to gain.

First... to your question. I don't call the people you describe terrorists. To me a terrorist is one who chooses (for any reason, political, religious or other) to inflict harm on those who do not choose their way of life (or whatever reason they seem to have). Whether directly or indirectly.
With that said... I ask why do the "terrorists" (as described above) think that we (as in capitalists; as you say) should be like them or get a death sentence? Isn't that just the same as you are inquiring? To me, its like they don't want capitalists to "impose" their beliefs on them but they want to do that to us. Where is the sanity in that? something to ponder!

Most of American citizens are not trying to impose they're way of life. You must understand we don't have that much control in our country right now. Fascist and Big Business have control, but they do an amazing job spinning it to us citizens that thats the opposite. I love the idea of my country,but just the idea right now. Though if people fight to get this country the way it was intended, I think we can find answers to all of our problems in a peaceful manner.
Terrorist are awful people, but what he is saying that theyre are labels on people who are not terrorist, but just labeled that way because they agree with a different ideology that is not beneficial to certain higher ups around the world. He is not making a reference of labeling people who go around killing innocents for a religous or govermental purpose should not be called terrorists. Because frankly they are terrorists.

People whose actions strike terror in the hearts of others are TERRORists.
They may be acting on their own beliefs, but a line is drawn when their belief system supports obliterating everybody who does not believe as they do.
My way of life is to respect life. I do not subscribe to the idea of killing lots of innocent people. I'd be happy to agree to disagree, if various groups of YES, TERRORISTS, weren't so bent on murdering the disagree-ers.

We do not want you to be like us but what we do want is for you to quit attacking us and quit trying to eradicate people who dont agree with you. Dont believe ask the Kurds. Millions murdered, and im not just someone talking about something i saw on CNN( communist news network) i have fought with the kurds and have many friends there. Sadly for you we are not trying to bring you into our culture we just dont want to be the target or yours which says killing will get you to heaven. So think before you speak.

I think that both views are simplistic. A person who doesn't want to be exactly like Americans or Eastern Europeans is not wrong. Terrorism is wrong. They are two very extreme ways of viewing each other and that also is wrong.

That's a pretty big generalization. The only people I call terrorists are those who purposely seem to harm others.

I don't call everyone who is different from me a terrorist. I do call people who take the lives of people who are not part of the military ("innocent") terrorists. It is okay to express your views, but it is not okay to bomb, behead, maim, rape, etc...to further your position.
