Who do you consider a terrorist?

Question

After I read the following discussion on terrorism – http://www.geocities.com/ulafrique/on_terrorism.html - I felt obligated to share the article with you. Ronald Reagan once said that, “one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.”

In the 1770s, North Americans resisting British impositions (acts that eventually laid the foundation for “We the people …”) were called terrorists and insurgents by the British. Over the years, several others have been called terrorists and insurgents for simply resisting entities seeking to dictate and/or plunder from the nationals.

Oh, before you start talking about Muslims and Islam, let me set the record straight: I am a Christian and grew up, as a child, in a nation where Christianity and Islam are major religions. All the Muslims in my town lived on my side of the town and some are next-door neighbors. I know that Muslims are somewhat a very communal people, keep mostly to themselves ...

... and most have mindset that parallels that of the Christian's Holiness Pentecostals or the Mormons. I believe what we call the “Muslims are trying to take over the world” is in fact Islam’s version of Christianity’s “to evangelize the world.” Hold on! I am not finished! Did you know that Islam’s Kuran and the Jewish Torah also have accounts of the Christian Old Testament? Did you know that the dramatic hangings and draggings of Western invaders by the Middle Easterners we were informed about are exactly what the Jews are instructed to do, according to the Christian Old Testament, to infidels?

Well, I had to put a lid on, since I know that your motto-mouth may be running without brakes. Now, just who do you consider a terrorist?

Answer 1

I think that anyone who uses threats, violence and hatred to further there own agenda is a terrortist.

Answer 2

Five of the most notable terrorists in the last seventy years:

Joseph Stalin killed 10,000,000 of his own countrymen;
Adolph Hitler killed 6,000,000 Jews and other 'undesireables';
Idi Amin killed 2,000,000 people in Uganda;
George W. Bush has killed almost 670,000 Iraqis and more than 2,800 U.S. soldiers (to date);
Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death for killing 148 people in a small, remote Iraqi village.

Stalin died in his sleep. Hitler committed suicide. Amin retired in luxurious exile. Bush is still on a killing rampage. And Hussein is the ONLY one of these five terrorists who was ever brought to justice for his despicable and heinous crimes! -RKO-

George Bush is high on my list.
