Post; definitions of terrorism


Exactly what are the definitions of international and domestic terrorism?

I guess the urban definition for terrorism is either:

A) A muslim [This mainly in the west]
B) A person that uses fear to demoralise a certain group of people or the entire human population
C) Anybody that isnt white [Mainly fascists for this one]

There is no agreed definition on it, however.

I'm looking for more than urban. "Urban" is ludicrous. Not all muslims are bad, likewise thee are non-whites that love America and freedom just as much as you and I.

I am looking for official definitions. I have asked the US Dept. of Justice, and they have actually refused to comment. Gets me to wonder if that's an indirect confession to their own acts of terrorism.

Domestic terrorism is terrorism committed by someone against his own nation. International terrorism involved terrorist acts and activity in several nations.

The use of "terror" as a weapon, in an attempt to achieve an end.

Now you must accurately define "terror".

I dont love America, nor do i dislike America. Its just, can you guys get a GOOD guy in government soon?

There is no accepted official definition of Terrorism. It is naturally hard to define, in the west, Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist. In the Middle-east, he is a religious freedom-fighter.

Thats why some people use different words for Terrorism [I prefer 'Complex Irregular Warfare', but its too long.]

You mean a more reliable President of the US? Uhhh, if you're not America then what the hell do you care? He's ours, whether we like him or not. We voted for him, you didn't. We pay the taxes he gives to countries like yours (so you really should be either thanking Americans every chance you get or pay it back). Most importantly, while countries are getting those same tax payer dollars that hard-working Americans GIVE we have to listen to the same third world cesspools scream "die yankee die". So until your country pays us back, you guys can start showing some gratitude.

And in 20 years they'll be blaming us again, saying we trained him, we had him wrapped around our finger, and how he was another yankee puppet.

That's why I'm looking for definitions. Different definitions work for different people in different scenarios.

Communism was barely ever around America, so why should you lot have given a damn about it?

Im not Australian, i just live in this puppet country. I can assure you, our Kevin Rudd is Dubya's/Obamas ass slave. Thank your government? Im more likely going to invent a magical tree.

Well, Bush is gone and now we have an imposter filling his shows. Frying pan....fire.....you get the picture. As for who he has or had wrapped around his finger isn't for me to decide.

I would think that if your country can take care of it self just fine without our aid, then Rudd would not have become an ass-slave....
