Muslim, Atheist, Christian... it makes no difference. A terrorist is anyone two insights terror into the public. That he did, regardless of faith.

The annoying thing is, the arrogant mob only believes that the word terrorist is reserved for Muslims when they do their first Gihad.

12 hours ago I had just got home from the union club, so two instead of who isn't the worst typo I could have made. And no, I did a diploma in Public Services bro. The dictionary definition is the publically accepted definition, but I go by the military and government definition, which is "anyone who insights terror into the public".

There is no universally accepted definition of terrorism.

Well, that's just silly; by that logic, any criminal, or even protester or someone, could be a terrorist.

Hardly. Granted my last two posts were pretty vague, but to call any criminal a terrorist is just outright idiotic, and you know it. I'm going to quote the entire, three-lined definition from my notes just to prove a point. The definition of public terror means that murder, petty crime, etc, cannot be classed as terrorism. There's a HUGE difference between public terror and localised fear. When I said "into the public" I wasn't referring to it as, say, me (I am part of the public), but into the public as a whole. Serial killers who kill without cause cannot be classed as terrorists, for reasons that I do not control. If you really want to get into it, ask the government. They're the ones who wrote the definition I use, not me.

I use the definition of a terrorist is anyone who uses terrorism as means of coercion to further a political, ideological, social, or religious goal.
