Terrorism is the opposition to a perceived threat of a hostile takeover from a super-power such as USA who enpowers such idiots like Bush as the commander in chief.

the main reason boils down to this, you believe in one thing and another person believes in something different, for some stupid reason the other person believes that his way is better and all others need to wiped out, it can be religion, greed, racism or just plain hatred for one another, when we find the cure we can stop this and end all wars, too bad the cure is only a dream and will never happen

I want something that you posses, it's important to me, so I'll kill for it. That can be anything from race, oil, land, food, soil, labor, money, freedom, cars, water, air, status, etc... Let's not get so caught up in international terrorism for domestic terrorism exist daily in every ones country. Those things can be view on the front page of the newspaper or on the TV as robberies, fraud of any type, and homicides with motive....
The world has made us feel so uncomfortable with ourselves that we will do whatever it takes to be what we consider normal.

I did answer a question like this a while ago but cant find it on my records now. Here is a brief outline of the reasons for terrorism. Most of your answers on here already are close but not exactly exactly to the point.
Terrorism is a term used to describe certain violent or otherwise harmful acts or threats of such acts. Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are: intended to create fear or "terror", are perpetrated for a political goal (as opposed to a hate crime or "madman" attack), deliberately target "non-combatants", and are not conducted by a "legitimate" government. However, some definitions include state terrorism, and in many cases the determination of "legitimate" targets and the definition of "combatant" is disputed (especially by partisans to the conflict in question).
As a form of unconventional warfare, terrorism is sometimes used when attempting to force political change by: convincing a government or population to agree to demands to avoid future harm or fear of harm, destabilization of an existing government, motivating a disgruntled population to join an uprising, escalating a conflict in the hopes of disrupting the status quo, expressing the severity of a grievance, or drawing attention to a neglected cause.
Many people find the terms "terrorism" and "terrorist" (someone who engages in terrorism) to have a negative connotation. These terms are often used as political labels to condemn violence or threat of violence by certain actors as immoral, indiscriminate, or unjustified. Those labeled "terrorists" rarely identify themselves as such, and typically use other generic terms or terms specific to their situation, such as: separatist, freedom fighter, liberator, revolutionary, vigilante, militant, paramilitary, guerrilla, rebel, jihadi or mujaheddin, or fedayeen, or any similar-meaning word in other languages.
There are five main key criteria to terrorism and can be summed up in this way.
1.Violence
2.Physcological impact and fear
3.perpetrated for a political goal
4.deliberate targeting of non-combatants
5.unlawfullness or illigitemacy
On one point, at least, everyone agrees: terrorism is a pejorative term. It is a word with intrinsically negative connotations that is generally applied to one's enemies and opponents, or to those with whom one disagrees and would otherwise prefer to ignore. `What is called terrorism', Brian Jenkins has written, `thus seems to depend on one's point of view. Use of the term implies a moral judgment; and if one party can successfully attach the label terrorist to its opponent, then it has indirectly persuaded others to adopt its moral viewpoint.' Hence the decision to call someone or label some organization `terrorist' becomes almost unavoidably subjective, depending largely on whether one sympathizes with or opposes the person/group/cause concerned. If one identifies with the victim of the violence, for example, then the act is terrorism. If, however, one identifies with the perpetrator, the violent act is regarded in a more sympathetic, if not positive (or, at the worst, an ambivalent) light; and it is not terrorism.
The difference between the words "terrorist" or "terrorism" and the terms above can be summed up by the subjective aphorism, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." This is exemplified when a group that uses irregular military methods is an ally of a State against a mutual enemy, but later falls out with the State and starts to use the same methods against its former ally. During World War II the Malayan People’s Anti-Japanese Army was allied with the British, but during the Malayan Emergency, members of its successor, the Malayan Races Liberation Army, were branded terrorists by the British yet twenty years later when a new generation of Afghan men are fighting against what they perceive to be a regime installed by foreign powers, their attacks were labeled terrorism by President Bush.[

I would say its a personal thing for some not all.say you are Iraqi
and your family are killed by a US airstrike(who do you blame,the
USA)your mother dies your sister dies,and now you want revenge.
For fighting against the people who killed your innocent family,you
are now a terrorist in the eyes of America and the press.
Revenge against this sort of act must be a very large part of
the terrorist mindset.
Ask yourself a question,If your family died at the hands of another
would you not be slightly upset about it?would you want revenge
if you lived in a country where you could fight against the people
who killed your family.

Religion! People so blinded by their religion for so long, that they refuse to live free and use common sense. You can't reason with that.
