For those who answered Yes, Is This a Terrorist?

Question

Groups which vandalize or destroy abortion clinics, without injuring or killing humans

Answer 1

absolutely yes

Answer 2

The very word "terrorist" (see link) is to create fear in others.

The sub-humans that do the acts you mention are terrorists.
Do you seriously think that people who work at those clinics or who need the services provided, feel safe going there when their lives might be jeopardized by some lunatic?

In some cases, the terrorists you refer to, are no different than the islamic terrorists, using their children to carry out the dirty work.
The second link has an excellent example of a Tulsa, Oklahoma teen charged with shooting and bombing a clinic.
I'm sure his parents were proud, just like the parents of Middle Eastern suicide bombers.

All in the glory of God, eh?

Answer 3

Yes, for all the same reasons.

BTW, I am also a born-again Christian who wholeheartedly opposes abortion-on-demand as an abomination in the sight of God and a detriment to civilised society. But that does not give me the right to commit further abominations in His sight or to trample on the other laws of society in order to "even the score."

So I continue to counsel young people and to PEACEFULLY pettition the government to enact more strict controls on abortion and to put more resources into teaching young people about the alternatives (abstainence #1 and contraception #2 before it is too late, and being responsible by either starting a family or giving the baby up for adoption afterwards) rather than taking the "easy way out." Abortion is anything but easy on those who have one, and it does irreperable damage to our society by cheapening human life to the point that it is just so much garbage to be vacuumed up and thrown away when it is "inconvenient." The mentally ill, mentally retarded, criminals, and pretty much anyone you disagre with are all also "inconvenient." Do some research on eugenics in Nazi Germany (also in the USA in the 1920's and 1930's to a lesser degree), to find out what happens when you then start considering them to be "disposable" as well.

Answer 4

Everyone is a terrorist in a way/shape/form wether they kill or not. A school bully intimidates a kid for his lunch money, that is terrorism, he's using terror to get what he wants. You break into a persons home to steal some goods and most likely are armed, you have the mind set of using terror to intimidate the person as not to do anything while you take what you want. Yes that would be terror, the example you gave. Not only are they being vandalized and destroyed, that uses terror to try and gain what one wants.

Answer 5

See, here, I come to the opposite conclusion.

Even without any death, yes they are terrorists. Because unlike the animal lab example, here the goal is not to create an economic incentive to stop.

Here the goal is to make people afraid. The doctors, the staff, the patients. They want people afraid to go to those clinics, and that is attempting to control behavior through fear.

Which is the definition of terrorism.

Answer 6

Yes,

A terrorist IMO is someone who forces someone else to listen to their cause through use of force (AKA: anything that is violent or hurtful) That would include breaking windows and trashing a place. There are better ways of expressing your view points.

Answer 7

Terrorism includes destuction of property as well as loss of life.

Answer 8

Those are still terrorists. You don't have to kill to be one.

Answer 9

no, they are merely crazy anti-abortion activists that took it one step higher
