Someone that wants to do bodily harm to millions of people regardless of who they are... Someone that is wearing all black with a biohazard mask, and suit on... The person is very intellugent, and well prepared, with one goal in mind to kill.. This person is very angry.. and is not willing to allow anyone or anything get in the way of their personal mission.

Thank you for your honesty but it doesnt take millions to die from the hand of a terrorist. Just one person is enough dont you think?

Thats true that it doesnt take millions of people dying to be a terrorist. Granted.. Ok look at this situation, there is a car that has tinted windows that is driving by really slow down a street that is filled with children and other people just walking the streets going about their business.. A window starts to open and all you can see is a barrel of an automatic weapon pointed at that same side of the street. Targetting on rival gang member that happens to be walking by those children that are playing, and other people that are just minding their own business... Half of them are DOA, some crippled for the rest of their lives, and one person is lucky they didnt get hit... Yes that is an act of a terrorist, but do you see anyone really caring, anyone really doing something to solve the problems of gangs??? Or the news media considering that to be an act of terror? Nope its just considered an every day thing in Americas major cities... What are your thoughts?

I totally agree with you, but for some reason people in the United States thing that terrorism is only when government buildings are hit. I said this months ago people out here screaming and her we have people against abortion that are blowing up buildings but when I asked about that it was not considered terrorism I have to say BS. It is one group of people trying to commit bodily harm to others to further there beliefs in what is right and wrong in their world. But they do not call them terrorist they are considered extremist or radicals.

Well my perspective is a terrorist can look just like you or me or anyone. It always seems like the most disturbing thing is that you really don't know by looking at a person or even listening to a person if they in fact could be a terrorist. I imagine the most dangerous thing is terrorists come in all shapes and sizes... rapist, thieves, murderers... they don't all follow the same mold. Amazing how a terrorist can pull off having such faithful followers also. They are not necessarily uncivilized as may may envision them as being... the worse terrorist of all has the curizma to inspire even thousands or more to fulfill their agenda.

Someone with the singleminded goal to cause harm to people he does not know and does not want to know. He hates them because they "are" not because of who they are or because of anything they have done so there's no possibility of meeting in the middle. My husband commented once that there were many terrorists in Vietnam, although they weren't called that at the time, but they hated the American troops and weren't military. They were the children who would offer a soldier a can of soda with battery acid in it, the woman carrying a basket of laundry with a grenade hidden underneath the clothes, the street vendor who sold food with razor blades in it. A terrorist has an agenda and will take as long as it takes, recruit as many as he needs to recruit, and spend whatever amount he has to spend in order to achieve his goal.
