Terrorism is an instrument.It can be used in conjunction with any ideology.Most armed forces utilize (to some extent) a psychological element to their warfare.Remember how the US Army blared heavy metal during some of their campaigns? That was for the "fear factor".How about the war paint that was donned by Native Americans before they went into battle?
Have you ever heard of war drums? These are all examples of "terrorism".
Our western definition of terrorism is quite different,however.
Because of our conditioning by the media over the years,we equate terrorism with a tactic that only our enemies would use.
That's a misconception though,because as anyone can see,it's quite an effective tactic.

The war on terror is simply self defense and self preservation - nothing more, nothing less. It is the response to a horrendous act carried out against Americans on our own soil by Islamic radicals.
If you wish to try to pigeon-hole it as an "instrument" or an "ideology" - that's fine, but a rose of a different name is still a rose. It can be argued to be either, or both. My opinion is that it is an instrument by which we hope one day will bring an end to their ideology of a one world government (sans infidels) under Islamic Law.
The Islamic terrorists have shown no interest whatsoever in diplomacy, negotiations or any other peaceful means to end their murder and mayhem. If we ignore them, they have in the past and will again strike back with more terrorism. That is unacceptable.

Particularly since there are so many Muslims in the US and the UK for a political leader or the news media to say that there is a "war on Islam" would cause unparalleled violence. Muslims have a sacred duty to preserve Islam and to annihilate anyone who besmirches Islam. Therefore, in my opinion, the phrase "war on terror" is an instrument. Furthermore, "terror" is not an ideology.

The "war on terror" is an instrument to keep the Ameican population supporting the wars of the Bush and his government..That's my opinion.

I add a link to an articl - in french.
to sum up - it is a question of power.
who will rule the world?
if the muslem - than Orwell 1984 - will be a child game...
if the terror will be won - than the wesren culture will survive.
so you can say - it is ideology using the instrument (teror)
to win the western culture.
the middle ages - were dark, who know what will happen and to how many time if the muslem will win???!!!

Terrorism is the instrument of the diabolical Illuminati, who seek to kill off as many of us as they can, and pound the survivors into submission in their new world order police state.

i think of conflict on terrorism, that's the act of inflicting terror on human beings. A conflict on terror might embody all the horror movies, wild beasts, highway gangs..etc. consisting of something that ever terrorised absolutely everyone.

It is so easy to hate! People can be talked in to hating with ease. Skin color, religion, location, we are so easily manipulated. WE want to believe the world woes are to be blamed on someone else, not us. Terrorism is a vent for hate. Hitler reincarnated, Evil alive!
Hate spreads like wildfire, reason and love takes work

Terror would be defined as a strategy of acheiving an objective, just like guerrila warfare is a strategy.
