BF2S Forums Your Definition of Terrorism

Terrorism=All those who oppose the US government and don`t have the brains to understand they have been conquered.

Or the more accurate definition from Wiki and Britannica.

As terrorism ultimately involves the use or threat of violence with the aim of creating fear not only to the victims but among a wide audience, it is fear which distinguishes terrorism from both conventional and guerrilla warfare. While both conventional military forces may engage in psychological warfare and guerrilla forces may engage in acts of terror and other forms of propaganda, they both aim at military victory. Terrorism on the other hand aims to achieve political or other goals, when direct military victory is not possible. This has resulted in some social scientists referring to guerrilla warfare as the "weapon of the weak" and terrorism as the "weapon of the weakest"

Meaning only those seeing it as their last resort tend to use terrorism to achieve something rather than just nothing, although i despise the use i can understand the means .....

Would a religious goal class as part of a political one, or something else?

My view, in my own words of course, is:

Anything or anyone that threatens the integrity, liberty and freedom of the human race. By using violence, fear and other means possible to create chaos and mayhem.
Though, terrorism itself may be a factor that people use to protect their own ideals and freedom against an opposing force, or someone trying to change these ideals.

"Intentionally attacking civilians to force the goals of the minority on the majority."

But sadly the following is more true.

"Anyone who has oil and isn't western friendly."
