In the dictionary, terrorism is defined as "The systematic use of terror, the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear for bringing about political change".\n\nIn the UK, under the Terrorism Act 2000, a terrorist, for example, is defined as a person whose "action... or threat of action" is "designed to change government policy" and is done "for political, ideological or religious reasons". This means a peaceful protester on a street corner can, under this law be called a terrorist.\n\nIn practice, the definition or terrorism depends on who's doing the defining.\n\nLibyan bombers attack a Berlin discotheque and 2 American GIs are killed - this is called terrorism. The U.S. bombs two Libyan cities in retaliation. More than 60 civilians are killed in the retaliatory bombing, including Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffi's baby daughter. This is not terrorism.\n\nThe bombing of Pan-Am flight 103 over Lockerbie is rightly considered terrorism. The Libyan men responsible are tried, conviced and imprisoned\nCubana Airlines Flight 455 is bombed in 1976, killing 73 people. The man suspected of this bombing, Luis Posada Carriles, is given asylum by the US Government despite his porven involvement in the bombing of hotels. They do not acknowlege him as a terrorist - why?\n\nFrench attacking occupying German soldiers in WW2 - legitimate resistance.\nIraqis attacking occupying US soldiers - terrorism.\n\nA Palestinian attacking an Israeli army outpost is called terrorism. Israeli planes firing missiles into densly populated Palestinian civillian areas - self defence.\n\nThe real definition of terrorism seems to be this - terrorism is violence committed by those we disapprove of.

Terrorists come from all walks of life.  There are terrorists in every country of the world, including the United States.  They are motivated by religion, politics and cultural/socio-economic backgrounds.  Being that Islam is only the 3rd most popular religion in the world, your information is faulty at best and downright inflammatory and willfully hateful at the worst.

By far most terror world wide is Islamic but there are a few more. I think of the nuts who burn or destroy research institutions if they use animals at all. Things like that. They also are listed as a terror group but there is not nearly as many of them. For those who do not think we are in a very real war with those who are determined to defeat us take a little time to look at the site below.

Terrorism exists because of misinterpretation of religious documents. It's that simple for both "I'm gonna bomb a bus" terrorism or "I'm going to beat up some gays" terrorism.

i do not think all muslims are terrorists, just like i don't think all christians are racist, cross-burning, biggots.\n\nthe following is a copy of an answer that i just put in a similiar question...\n\none day, a couple years ago, i was pumping my gas and the young man at the pump next to me starting talking to me. we had very good conversation for those 3 minutes. it was obvious that he was not from the area, so i asked "where are you from?" he lowered his head, hesitated, softened his voice and said "afganistan". i felt so ashamed of americans at that moment. that this young man could not even lift his head and say proudly where he was form. did he think that i was going to yell out at the top of my voice? did he think i was going to call him a terrorist? i still to this day remember that moment.\n\neven among the christian faith, there are people that take it too far. the KKK consider themselves chritians. do the rest of the christians walk with head bowed and whisper that they are christians for fear that someone will call them out as a racist biggot? no, they don't.\n\ndo not judge all by one.

Is not considered but it is. You own people which you treat bad and beat them or even if you want you could kill them. That is terrorism because you are attacking people that do nothing against you.

are you terrorist????.........

No.  According to the definition of terrorism typically used by states, academics, counter-terrorism experts, and non-governmental organizations, terrorists don't belong to any recognized armed forces, or who don't adhere to their rules, and who are therefore regarded as "rogue actors".

Did you really just say that terrorism doesn't exist? I don't know how to respond to that except to say you are deluding yourself. It most certainly does exist. WAKE UP! Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims. This is why we are suspicious of any Muslims or even just Arab-looking people.

YES! YES! and again yes.As you are already aware, in this world today,ecspecially in the Good Ole USA,you are either politically correct,bury your head in the sand,or speak out and be a radical trouble causing ungrateful citizen which is one step short of being a terrorist yourself.\nI'll just stop here.Thanks for letting me answer.

Understand that the American government decides what a terrorist is....the rest of us are no allowed to have such opinions...I am pretty sure under the definitions established by the current administration our forefathers were all terrorist.
