Why does the local people regard terrorists as heroes in some places?

Question

Most of us think terrorists are terrible.But in some places where the terrorists live,the local people think they're heroes.They respect the terrorists very much,even supporting the acts of terrorism. Why?

For example:In Afghanistan or Irap,terrorists killed many foreigners.They cut foreiners heads cruelly.But many local people support them.

Answer 1

They got the same culture and religion. In local people's opinion, they are merely a bit extreme: no big deal.

In view of history, christian churches can be considered as a tribe of terrorists in Roman Empire. The Roman Empire wanted to up-root them but they got support from local people. Eventually, over three century, they got accepted as a formal religion. This may be applied to Muslim Extremists.

Answer 2

Cedar, that is a bold-faced lie. The terrorists have beheaded Iraqi police, soldiers, and civilians suspected of aiding Coalition Forces. These people are Muslim, too. Their real goal has more to do with power and influence than with religion.

Answer 3

The places where they consider Terrorists heroes are in most Muslim countries. These terrorists attack solely Christians, Jewish, etc... people that are not Muslims so basically they are killing infidels therefore for some fundamentalists they are heroes.

Answer 4

because the locals are not the target of terroism is why if they were then then would see the terrorist as such not heros but villians

Answer 5

Read Colin Powell's autobiography.

Answer 6

My terrorist is someone elses freedom fighter. It is simply a matter of perspective.

Answer 7

One man's terrorist is another man's hero.
