[DKSuddeth]

no, but I HAVE heard the terms...

IRA terrorist
Chechen Terrorists
Anti-Abortion terrorists
Eco terrorists
and NeoCon terrorists (just for you RWA : )

The difference is that groups like al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.etc. use Islam as the basis for their terror - just like anti-abortion terrorists use the anti-abortion arguments as the basis for their terror, as do eco-terrorists, etc. etc. All, in my opinion, are equally wrong.

 

[William Joyce]

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Easy for the ruling class to denounce violence, because they're already sitting pretty. Those who are out of power have only one recourse, and that is force. Those with power do not give it up easily. You can either be a slave, or you can fight.
