Terrorism is a wide concept that has been used throughout the ages, by the powerful to oppress the weak. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. In fact, I believe most of the writings in the Qu'ran are similar in one way or another to Christianity and Judaism, and I'm a Catholic myself. Here's the definition of terrorism from Encyclopedia Britannica:
" The systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Terrorism has been practiced by political organizations with both rightist and leftist objectives, by nationalistic and religious groups, by revolutionaries, and even by state institutions such as armies, intelligence services, and police."
A good example of an authority or state using terror to achieve "victory" (just like that fake Muhammad quote you posted) is France after the revolution in 1789, Robespierre executed hundreds of possible political enemies and innocent people, thus inflicting fear in the population. Another good example of a state promoting terrorism is the United States of America. Want examples? The A-bombs in Japan, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the funding of anti-soviet guerrilla groups in Afghanistan (Osama Bin Laden was in one of those groups), the funding of the Contra guerrilla in Nicaragua, the sales of weapons to IRAN during the 80's which eventually led to the Iran-Contra Scandal, the funding of anti-goverment and terrorist groups inside Saddam's Iraq during the 90's.

That's interesting! So is the fact that Ceasar sent soldiers to persuade Christians to recant their faith or die! Later Emporer Constantine newly converted from paganism sent his soldiers to redeem the 'Lost' or send them on to hell! Then there was Attila the Hun and Ghenghis Khan that prevailled on their neighbors to join them or die(no religious follower was spared)! Were these acts of jihad or tyranny? pre-meditated murder is a criminal act in America and is not resigned to the richman or the poorman.

You have read it! There is no denying that statements such as this exist. That does not justify taking it to the nth degree and terrorising the world - does it?
