The people that went to work on 9/11 wern't afraid either. No you can't live your life in fear but you better know that there is somone out there tha wants to see you dead. Do you think if given half a chance to come over here with a dirty bomb they won't take it? We thought we were safe before 9/11. What are trying to say? We should do away with national security? Bin laden is that you?

Terrorism is only terrorism, which ever side you remain. Killings  innocents in World Trade Center, At London Railway stations or in Delhi crowded Markets are always terrorism which ever side you are. F-16  are bombing remote villages because terrorist are hiding there.

Instilling fear in people is terrorism, eg. "shock and awe", "all options are on the table".  \n\nAnyone who uses force or the threat of force to coerce others into compliance and obedience is a terrorist.  \n\n"War is terrorism practiced by the rich.  \nTerrorism is war practiced by the poor."\n- unknown\n\n\n.

Arizona is a wonderful state that a lot of Americans go to during the winter.  Travel there in the summer and visit many great attractions such as the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Painted Dessert.  Keep away visitors and the economy of AZ would have a lot of problems.  Terrorism is just that to terrorize people so that they do not act as normal.  An attack against the Southwest of any sort would have an impact of people coming to your state.  That is they're intention to control what we do by instilling fear in our people.  I know that to some people an attack there would make no sense, but to me it makes as much sense as anything else.  The terrorist threat is supposed to be that scare the people and keeping people from doing everyday things is the way to go about it, much could be destroyed that we could never get back and that would probably be more devastating than 9/11.

I think terrorism is the result of violence, and for most people violence can only be answered with more violence: terrorist acts. For example if you drop bombs in a country, and invade a foreign country, you can only expect more violence in return, so the only way to stop violence is not to use it as a way of changing the world.

In my opinion it is a response to a stimuli because it's (for the most part) uncontrollable.  If it was an emotion you would just be scared of nothing for no reason, right?

terrorism (the word itself is so broad) it cannot just be directed to muslims ... there are many other people that are not muslims and do not live in that territorry that are probably more against this definition of terrorism.... what kind of terrorism? against the US?

I'm sorry I don't have the time to read all of that right now, but I plan to.  Quick question, does it define what terrorism is anywhere in there.  If it does, please tell me where so I can read that.\n\nIf not, There is my issue with it.

No.  According to the definition of terrorism typically used by states, academics, counter-terrorism experts, and non-governmental organizations, terrorists don't belong to any recognized armed forces, or who don't adhere to their rules, and who are therefore regarded as "rogue actors".

Firstly,I heared alot about terrorism and its connection to Islam. so i think by false that Islam=terrorism. when i chat muslims i found them normal people but i think they know what they want and they trust their God completely.so I think that Terrorism have not any connection with Islam and muslims who kill, burn and explode are only bad people which fill all countries and all religions.

Real answer: Never.  Terrorism, in one form or another, has been around since the begining of civliization.  There is always going to be a set of people who are not pleased with another set, and then a small subset of them who will go through extraordinary lengths to prove it.
