What Makes a Terrorist a Terrorist?

[Hecktix]

Is this thread still going? Lol. Some good points still being made.

I Totally Agree With Hecktix!! The IRA Are Terrorists As Much As The Muslims.. People Just Seem To Think That The Only Terrorists Are Muslims Only Because All The People Being Questioned About 9/11 Are Muslims .. Doesn't Mean That ALL Terrorists Are Muslims.

Does That Make Sence? Lawl x

Also, I agree that most Terroists are muslims, but there is still alot of Terroist organisations that aren't muslim. i.e the Chechniyans (sp) that attack Russia.

Naa, most terrorist aint muslims, Just most the ones that get media coverage are. Fanatical christans firebombing abortion clinics in the US, go unheard of. Terorism in pretty much any contary outside eurpoe an the US is pretty much complaty ignored, such as in africa where in some places the problems are worse than irack...

Nore are muslims, they never were.

IRA were Terrorists. That doesnt mean all irish are terrorists?
Al kiedia are terroists. Everyone thinks that means all muslims are terrorists...


Anyone notice the problem there?

No, not all Muslims are terrorists, but even if there's one militant Muslim that makes them more like terrorists than the IRA just on the basis that the IRA aren't active. I wasn't really making a point, just felt like letting people know.

On the topic of terrorism: I think people are too worried about it all. After 9/11 terrorism scares went sky high, but actual terrorist acts haven't really increased that much. Europe has been getting them for decades, it's just because America aren't used to being attacked on their own turf that such a fuss was made of it and such a large media coverage was placed on it.

It means that people generalise.
And we do.
How many times have you poked fun at an emo/chav?
Thinking they are all like the stereotype?

They are not doing it for their god, the Koran teaches peace not war, they are doing it for the ones that have brainwashed them.
Osama Bin Laden is a genius, but I do not agree with him at all, any man that can brainwash and twist that amount of people is smart.

If they are an emo or chav they do fit that steriotype. If they didnt fit that steriotype they wouldnt be a emo or chav. Emo and chav ARE steroptypes...
