What Makes a Terrorist a Terrorist?

[ilovejordan]

I was just reading the thread about racism. I posted my beliefs and something hit me. A lot of racist people stereotype muslims as terrorists.
And yes, some of the extreme terrorists are muslim, suicide bombers etc.
But there are a lot of other acts of terrorism.
Would you call Extreme Animal Rights Activists terrorists? They are.
Would you call football hooligans Terrorists? They are too.

Please tell me what you think makes a terrorist a terrorist Kthnx.

All terrorists have been of a muslim religion.
I think what makes a terrorist a terrorist is the fact they are prepared to kill not only themselves but their children just for their faith etc etc. animal rights activists aren't terrorists they dont go around blowing people up or kidnapping. Same for football hooligans.

NO! Sorry But that comment is kind of racist! Terrorists aren't necesscarily people who blow themselves up. And Extreme Animal rights activists do plant bombs in peoples houses, I suggest you read the second post of this thread, thats the definition of a terrorist.

Sorry but that is not racist at all. I haven't discriminated anyone because of their race. "/ I suggest you find the definition of racism? I've never heard of animal rights activists doing that i've only heard of that once where they took that dead body [they found it by where i live ew] anyway you asked what i thought a definition of a terrorist was so i said it. So stop saying im wrong.

Edit : yea i have. and bethie it isn't. Some have been british but have become muslim too. I haven o problems with muslims at the end of the day they are just humans. But i haven't heard of a single christian or w/e kidnapping or blowing people up.
And the ira werent even religious btw

You just said all the terrorists have been muslim.:rolleyes:

Yep. That's a pretty significant attack.

Ever since 9/11 its like terrorism is an Islamic related crime.

Have people forgotten the IRA?

Yes I think people have actually, the younger generation of people seem just to remember 9/11

Probably due to the wider scale of it, I think that the word terrorism wasn't really used back then.
