Can someone explain to me the ethical way of doing terrorism?

Question

Apparently there seems to be one.

Is this a good example, maybe?

Answer 1

So if I understand you correctly you are asking if there is an ethical excuse or justification for commiting terrorism.

No

Answer 2

Terrorism if it is directed at an oppressive and violent regime can be seen as being ethical. That is the Freedom Fighter justification of terrorism that many people talk about.
Nelson Mandela for example was a 'terrorist' in the eyes of the South African Govt during apartheid, but after the African National Congress was legalised post-apartheid was hailed as a hero and later elected president.
Terrorists will always be 'terrorists' and not 'freedom fighters' in the eyes of the oppressor. If they were to be seen as anything else, the stigma of being called a terrorist and the actions that can be taken against a terrorists would dissipate and their demonetisation would cease. Killing 'freedom fighters' is not as media friendly as killing 'terrorists' now is it?

Answer 3

Get elected to Congress as a Progressive Democrat,
sabotage our troops, give aid to the Enemy, call it Honest
disagreement with The Presidents policy on Iraq.Well its
not ethical but that's the way its being done.

Answer 4

No such thing- terrorism uses terror to accomplish goals. That cannot be ethical.

However goals could be accomplished peacefully- Gandi successfully defeated the British empire in India by peaceful means.

Unfortunately the Islamic extremists appear uninterested in peace.

Answer 5

Wars have always been fought over resources, and that will continue.

If you want to pay your Kaffir tax, or get your hands and feet chopped off, or have your family sold into slavery, or be forced to worship a different religion, don't read this.

It has been suggested that we should follow the policy of Gandhi to free our planet from terrorism. I think such a policy would only lead to coerced subjugation of the rest of the world, and slavery, and abject misery for billions.

Gandhi was up against a ruling power that was basically beneficial--that's why the British Empire had spread so far with so little resource expenditure. Perhaps the colonial British had a stick stuck in a stinky place, but they weren't crazy, homocidal fanatics, and eventually adjusted to the changing world.

A Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding
By Sam Solomon
Foreword by Gerard Batten
UK Independence Party
Member of the European Parliament for London
December 2006

Article 9

We the signatories request all Islamic institutions and all of its
associates, affiliations and outlets in co-operation with the
signatories to this Charter:

a) To discard all texts that discriminate with impunity against
Christians and Jews by describing them as Kaffirs,
apostates, polytheists, the children of apes, and swine, and
prohibit any inciting, insulting, and all discriminatory
references based on their religion

b) To abandon the practice of takffir (infidel) against
anybody, be that a Muslim or a non-Muslim. (Once a
Muslim leader declares anyone as such, it is for the faithful
ones to see that person eliminated.)

c) To prohibit and abolish the practice of Takkiya (Islamic
doctrine of legitimate lying and deception of others) to
advance the cause of Muslims and Islam.

This insulting, inciting, discrimination, and deception is not to be
upheld or practised.


Here is a British man trying to get the violent, fundamentalist Islamanazis to moderate their self-destructive behaviors, and they aren't having any of it. What Mr. Solomon still hasn't accepted is that FANATICS of ANY flavor CANNOT be negotiated with--they are ideologically incapable of adjustment to a changing world--that's what makes them fanatics! THEY WILL NEVER STOP! They are locked into their course of action. Islamunists kill people who try to convert to another religion and philosophy.

Not ONE Islamic nation's government supports this peace proposal!! They don't want it. They want world homogeneity, as defined by them, and brought about by reprehensible actions in the name of 'religion'. This is EVIL!

Unfortunately, there aren't too many EFFECTIVE ways to deal with homocidal fanatics. Why waste time, money and lives on INEFFECTIVE appeasment? It just delays the day of Jihad.

Islamic terrorists KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE! Now, I love peace and freedom as much as the next guy. But sometimes it's necessary to pull our heads out of our 'idealss', and put foot to hump for all mankind.

PLEASE, think up a different solution that includes my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, without my living in constant fear of a terrorist act killing or maiming my little girls. Even if it costs a little more money than nuking the evil 'tards that want to violently overthrow everything I believe in, if it will save other human life, I'll agree to it. Just remember, it MUST be EFFECTIVE. Also, remember that Palestinian Islamanazis won't even recognize Israel as a legitimate government. They support the extermination of all Israeli Jews, and actively practice Jihad. So, once again, tell me how to take care of this problem.

Answer 6

Oh, this is a good one. No, there is no good way to be a 'terrorist', because a 'terrorist' is always the bad guy. By definition. When a terrorist is a good guy, he's a 'guerrilla fighter' or a 'liberation activist', or a 'martyr for freedom' or something like that. Osama bin Laden = terrorist. George Washington = freedom fighter. See how easy it is?

Answer 7

there is no such thing.

any attempts at moral equivalency fall short with terrorism, because there is no equivalent. that's the cold truth. those people are brutal savages, and they are NOT noble by any stretch. men who teach small children to blow themselves up in a crowded area full of innocent people are an abomination.

Answer 8

peace marches and other means of non-violent protests would seem to be ethical and yet still effective to persuade people to see your point of view.

Randomly blowing up relatively small numbers of people over and over generally seems to harden their hearts against the terrorist.

Answer 9

OK, OK, you just won't quit will you? Invade a country we thought done us wrong. Good enough, yes?

Answer 10

There is none. "Ethical terrorism" is an oxymoron.
