What Makes a Terrorist a Terrorist?

[Hecktix]

Hmm, let's get the definitions out now...

Racism - or racialism is a form of discrimination based on race, especially the belief that one race is superior to another. Racism may be expressed individually and consciously, through explicit thoughts, feelings, or acts, or socially and unconsciously, through institutions that promote inequality between races.

Terrorist - One who utilizes the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve political objectives, while disguised as a civilian non-combatant. The use of a civilian disguise while on operations exempts the perpetrator from protection under the Geneva Conventions, and consequently if captured they are liable for prosecution as common criminals.

I suppose where people get the idea that most people who are terrorists are muslim, is from the media. But, trying not to be too contraversial here, but I do have to agree to an extent. Most publicised terror attacks in our generation have been done by muslims.

Yes the majority of attacks in the time of our Generation have been by Muslims. And I fully understand why these people are saying that muslims are the only terrorists.
But Im trying to stop that stereotype. Its a bit harsh.

Of course it's harsh, but unless it stops, it'll get worse.

Please read the other posts. Terrorists are not necesscarily Muslims.
Stop being so stereotypical!

MOST Terrorits are Muslims, IRA was years ago, NOWADAYS Most Terrorists are Muslims, I hate it when people call other people Racists because someone is not afraid to speak up to this monster Called Political Correctness.

Undertaker, I agree that MOST terrorists NOWADAYS are muslim.

But there is still other terrorists out there.

The IRA isnt that out of date. And football hooliganism is a very mild form of terrorism. And EXTREME Animal Rights Activists [The ones who put bombs through scientists letter boxes] are also terrorists.

no that isn't terrorism fgs.
Terrorism is where a person or people do something to create total terror throughout as many people as they can. Animal rights activists just try to free animals and stop the testing.

so if you knew of them why did you say all terrorists were muslim?

Because i dont believe they were terrorists the majority of terrorists so far have been muslim
