Should PETA Be Considered a Terrorist Organization?

New World Order \n\nThere is a group of people… across this planet wide,\nwith greedy little fingers - and power on their mind, \nthey do not care ‘bout sovereignty - the one-world is their goal, \nLiberty is their enemy… and their deity is Control. \n\nThey march across the history books - possess an ageless plan, \nleading us toward dependency - to a woman and a man, \ntheir map to domination is as old as time itself, \nmixing ancient mysteries with technology off the shelf, \n\nKeeping us in darkness - their faces unrevealed, \nthe shadows are their foxholes and secrecy is their shield, \nthey manipulate behind the scenes - relentless without fear, \na crescendo of disparity that builds from year to year. \n\nThey provide us our distractions - engulf us day to day, \npreparing to enslave us, they slowly wear away\na catalogue of liberties - and while freedoms wane and cease, \nthey tell us that they’re doing it for security and for peace, \n\nThey prey upon our apathy - in a plot you can’t untwist, \npolicing how you think and feel… they tighten an iron fist, \nthey terrorize the spirit of hope with fear and guilt and shame\n‘til there’s nothing left of who you were but a ghost, a shell, a name. \n\nThey rule from modern castles - elitist to the core, \nthey think of you as mindless stock to serve them evermore, \nthey’ll take away your firearms so you cannot self-defend, \nand tag you with an ID chip… to keep you in your pen. \n\nThere is a group of people… across this planet wide, \nwho are waiting for their moment - and time is on their side, \nthe New World Order is the dream - and dominion is the gain, \nbut they cannot reach this final goal… ‘til Liberty has been slain. \n\n\n--Stone Bryson

No, PETA members do not think it's OK to slaughter animals for food!

That does not make sense because PETA means People Eating Tasty Animals.

We should let them have their beliefs in their country and quit trying to enforce democracy on them. Retaliate when justified with attacks but we shouldn't provoke attacks with them or anyone.\n\nMy personal favorite though to protect our country would be to put liquified pig fat in all all cleaning products and in our weaponry. Would any Muslim have hijacked and crashed a plane on 9/11 if he knew his body and blood would of been intermingled with pig fat upon his death? No they wouldn't, they would never consider it because this would keep them from heaven. There I have solved the entire worlds terrorism problem, but who will listen to me?

I think they're both just as bad.  PETA can get pretty nasty and petty sometimes.

- there is no terrorist in world if no one intercept others life.\n- terrorism is really propagated by the bad policians of Americans and Europeans by means of hatred other religions particularly by suppressing muslims and the growth of their country.\n- terrorism really has no religion and terrorist activities is not belongs to a particular religion any more.\n- In any way Terrorism is acceptable.\n- The Americans and socalled "christian club"(europeans) alongwith Israel is in the bloody tug-of-war with Islam and creating Islamin terrorist world wide.\n- The Media which entirely controlled by the socalled and Americans and Europeans is portraiting as terrorist whoever talking against them. \n- But the real terrors are gaining their horrified terrorism as legal and legitimising it by cheating and paralysing billions of peoples on the earth.\n- Any Americans and Europeans have the right to use Neuclear power but no muslim countries. If some try to acquire then the country portrayed as "Axis of Evil" nations and spread terrorism.\n- They have rights to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent peoples including Infants, women in the name of war and in the name of spreading democracy.\n- What rights they have to spread their own culture to other nations..?\n- If they really help other nations and their people then no one will intend to raise slogans like "DEATH TO AMERICA".\n- Because the love is the great.\n- The drive towards "war against terror" is actually seems to be planned to spread terrorism worldwide and creating more terrors everywhere.\n- Because, now they got great chances to say and prove that Islam is preaching terrorism and Muslims are terrors, and so they can intrude and occupy any countries, suppress their people and growth in the name of Economic Sanctions and more.\n- They can achieve innocent peoples support through the misleading television media and make them to believe Islam is unrequired danger to the world.\n- Is this activities is not the Terrorism or more than that...?... what do you think.\n- There is really peaceful world when Americans and Europeans stop portraying other religions are harmful and avoiding the tendency to suppress other nations from their technological growth.\n- There is really peaceful world when Americans and Europeans stop intruding and RESPECTING the culture of other nations legitimate rights.\n- I dont want to say more... there is no terrorist and terrirism if Americans and Europeans mind their own business.\n- Why they always Americans and Europeans being the Hidden and Real threat to the Peaceful World...and being the real "Axis of Evil(Satan)"?\n- I never support terrorism.\n- Terrorism cannot be justified at any form.\n- Innocent people, let them be any religion, should not be allowed to suffer at any cost.\n- But remember the real Criminals are they who force innocent people to involve in terrism activities.\n- Let refine their (Americans and Europeans) interest on other nations.\n- Respect them.\n- Dont suppress other nations growth.\n- Dont let them push and force their own culture on other nations.\n- Stop wars on other nations.\n- Stop killing innocent people, children and women in the name of war. And dont create terrorist anymore.\n- Do you still think these activities are not terrorism. \n- And dont forget whoever talking about Americans and Europeans are portrayed as "enemies" "Terrorism breeding nations" and "Axis of Evil countries".... think how stupid the logic behind it... and when ordinary peoples can understand it....?\n-------------------

I dont think any religion widely accepted by rational people is or can be.  By definition terrorism is to instill terror in ones enemies.  Most religions I know of want us to accept our neighbors not terrorize them

Wow this is a really great question, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of answers. Personally I think it depends on the time period. What is considered terrorism today, can be an accepted act further down in history.\n\nFor example: back in the revolutionary war, the British found it horrid that we would run around in the woods and assasinate their officers. It was inconceivable for them, they were use to forming up and exchanging vollies. They did not know how to adapt to this, because they did not have a strong NCO corps. Officers were irreplaceble to them.\n\nEven in the Civil War we used tactics that might be considered taboo now a days, and that was against our own country men.\n\nAlso there has been many times that we supported "freedom fighters"  that might be considered terrorists today. We supported the Afghani's (Taliban) in the 80's when they had a long war with the Soviet Union. Which Osama Bin Laden was a part of. They used a lot of the same tactics they used in the war we fought against them. We also supported Saddam Hussein in the 80's when they fought against Iran. Crazy but true.\n\nWhile I strongly condemn the attacks on 9/11 and believe we have every right to defend ourselves doing "whatever" is neccesary. The line between freedom fighter and terrorist is very hazy. I'm not really sure it can be defined 100%. As I said I think its based on the time period.

I'm very liberal - and I happen to NOT support PETA.  I feel that their scare tactics and such go WAY overboard to prove their point.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just don't shove it down my throat, ya know?

I find it distubing that you would label such ilk as freedom fighters.. thats my opinion.. everyone has pointed out why.. \n\nas to terrorists being labeled as such.. because generally "freedom fighers" commit acts of TERRORISM\n\nthey use methods of unconventional warfare .. ergo. they will do anything it takes even if that means killing innocents intentionally.. which american soldiers have not done in iraq.. \n\n\ni doubt you will change your opinion.. as far as im concerned there is no way possible to rationalize with someone like you.. but here is the wikipedia take on terrorism..\n\nalso.. forcing extremest islamic law on other individuals is hardly fighting for "freedom".. do you realize what these people want to do to us?.. or are you so blind to it all..\n\nwhy dont you ask Daniel Pearl or Nicholas Berg what they think of your freedom fighter analogy.. ?

They are against evreything, including having pets. They believe all animals should run free & wild. I may be a vegetarian, but PETA is crazy.

I'm sorry I don't have the time to read all of that right now, but I plan to.  Quick question, does it define what terrorism is anywhere in there.  If it does, please tell me where so I can read that.\n\nIf not, There is my issue with it.

The answer is YES\n\nIn the "Global War On Terror" where Terrorists are the enemy, YES Most Terrorists are Muslim. You left a quantitative loop hole "most" and therefore it must be recognized also that NOT ALL Terrorists are Muslim and conversely NOT ALL Muslims are Terrorists. But in the current world the largest portion of Terrorists that pose a threat the to the national security of most (if not all) free and sovereign nations are Muslim extremist.\n\nNow about the IRA... International Terrorists... same as Al Quida and Islamic Jihad etc... \n\nTimothy McVeigh - Domestic Terrorist - Only a threat to national security of his home nation (well... when he was alive that is) \nMAFIA, Organized Crime, etc... - No direct threat to national security - in fact - probably operate to some degree with respect for governmental authority as those criminal organizations that have been most successful have been able to "work the system" to their favor and take advantage of the laws of the land  - i.e. Al Capone would never have been able to build his empire (started by boot-legging Canadian Whiskey into The US) had the 18th Amendment never been created.

Terrorism is committed by many people of various religions and ideologies.  For the most part, the terrorists are motivated by greed, revenge or seeking power, and they are using religion as an excuse for their acts.  \n\nIslam itself does not teach or endorse terrorism.  Indeed, Islam forbids murdering women, children and unarmed men even in time of war.  It forbids the destruction of buildings.  It specifically forbids murdering fellow Muslims, yet the terrorists do this regularly.  The Qur'an says that terrorists will never see Paradise (or Heaven).  \n\nThe extremists in any religion who teach violence are taking bits and pieces of verses from their holy book, and twisting and perverting them in an attempt to justify the hatred they espouse.  \n\nOf all the major terrorist organizations in the world today, the majority of them are ones who claim to be Muslim.  President Bush has been very careful to distinguish that we are not at war with Islam, we are at war with terrorists who pervert the teachings of Islam.

terrorism isnt a thought, its an act. and a networked group of people who infiltrate governments and societies for the purpose of destroying other countries who they claim are against Allah.

let me guess your a member of PETA

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.
