I thought I had it figured out, terrorism is other people using terror and fear to control you.
It could all be blamed on the �freaks� that take religion too seriously. Like those guys at sports game who will give you the bash if they lose.

Now I read that we can blame it on Darwin�.

Reading the article is interesting, but a little creepy.

What do you all think�..

"The root of the terrorism that plagues our planet is not any of the divine religions, but atheism, and the expression of atheism in our times (is) Darwinism and materialism," it says.

Creation vs Darwin Takes Muslim Twist

A lavishly illustrated "Atlas of Creation" is mysteriously turning up at schools and libraries in Turkey, proclaiming that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is the real root of terrorism.

Arriving unsolicited by post, the large-format tome offers 768 glossy pages of photographs and easy-to-read text to prove that God created the world with all its species.

At first sight, it looks like it could be the work of United States creationists, the Christian fundamentalists who believe the world was created in six days as told in the Bible.

But the author's name, Harun Yahya, reveals the surprise inside. This is Islamic creationism, a richly funded movement based in predominantly Muslim Turkey which has an influence US creationists could only dream of.

Creationism is so widely accepted here that Turkey placed last in a recent survey of public acceptance of evolution in 34 countries - just behind the United States.

"Darwinism is dead," said Kerim Balci of the Fethullah Gulen network, a moderate Islamic movement with many publications and schools but no link to the creationists who produced the atlas.

Scientists say pious Muslims in the government, which has its roots in political Islam, are trying to push Turkish education away from its traditionally secular approach.

Religious people are threatened by the thought that their religion, which they have invested a lot of money, time, and money into, could be false.

As I understand it, terrorism is other people doing what is called "spreading freedom" when its done by you.

Wiki says: "Violence for political purposes, Act(s) of aggression against a non-strategic target intended to cause fear rather than a tactical advantage."

It probably should say "fear as a tactical advantage".

The non-strategic target is oh so specific.

Britannica says: "the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective."

Almost sounds like war.

I dunno the great flood could have been a terrorist attack.

The whole Sodom and Gomorra thing, I mean brimstone isn't that against the Geneva Conventions.

"Terrorism" is a new tag word used by politicians to get the public to accept new policy agendas.

If Che Gueverra were doing his thing in this "modern" political environment, he would also be labeled a terrorist as a political expedient for whichever superpower or government to put him and his cause down.

Purposely targeting civilians for the purpose of terror.

As apposed to collateral damage the fuzzy area.

How to determine the purposely part is difficult.

Placing armaments in schools and hospitals makes it difficult to distinguish the target.

So again conventionial tactics do not work against this form of guerilla warfare.

Newer stealthier surgically precise tactics must be employed.
