Are attempts to change the world through terror and assassination not anti-Christ usurping of God's authority?
God said "It is I who gives life, and takes it".
Abortionists take note. God gives life, and He is the one that takes it.
Do not usurp God's rule in such matters.

There are two kinds of Anarchy. Being a very independent, individual free-thinking can lead to either one!
One is highly destructive, (using murder etc.) not only to the victims of the anarchists’ wrath (examplle 9-11), but also ultimately to the anarchists themselves.
There is another type of self-defined anarchy, which is peaceful (so far), a beacon for personal and cultural self-transformation.
Anarchists of this type recognize that all beings want the same things: happiness, love, freedom, peace of mind, well-being, soul, and meaning. These are the good guys!
There are, of course, the nasty anarchists (like the unibomber) whose credos are more attuned to violent ruthless intervention in the normal life of the civilization.
This evil kind of ANARCHIST may believe in selfishness, greed, bully domination and/or exploitation.
These are the examples of individuality which do not lead to justice, but to terrorism and destruction. These are the bad guys/gals.

It is an interesting point.
And God said to obey the government, unless it's an evil one.
Anarchy is anti-establish, and anti-rules.

Anarchy isn't necisarily evil. Soem anarchists are against establishments that really are evil, even to Christians, such as the USSR under Stalin etc. Some want to ahve the right to practice their religion without the restrictions any government might put on them.

First question: no, it isn't.
Second question: no, they are.
What is the state without war and terror? The state calls its violence "justice" at home and "peacekeeping" abroad. (But the gospels speak against vengeance, and don't even bother to condemn the "collateral damage" which has killed a million Iraqi civilians.) The state has killed more people than anarchists ever will.
What is war and terror if not an act of rule? To kill someone is to come as close as any man can to destroying someone's freedom.
Statists (Al-Qaeda) performed 9-11. Not anarchists.

Wow, did you spend the last 100 years in hibernation? To even care about anarchism that much is outdated I think... most anarchists are quite peaceful, and have come up with practical ways to live outside the law without much trouble (squatters for example). Directly changing the world through political assassinations, that's not really what anarchism is about anymore.

Merriam Webster dictionary definiton says:
Anarchy:
Function: noun
Etymology: Medieval Latin anarchia, from Greek, from anarchos having no ruler, from an- + archos ruler
1 a: absence of government b: a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority c: a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government.
No, nothing about Christ, abortions or assassinations in there. Sorry to disappoint.
Edit. Your update didn't make sense either.
You can't just call people who do violent things 'anarchists' to make it fit your 'good/evil anarchist' fantasy.

Anarchy is a form of free will. Try to remember that.

You are highly mis informed of what Anarchy is.
Do a search on wikipedi.org or infoshop.org
