What is Terrorism?
 
 Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition.[1][2] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.
The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged,[3] and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. Studies have found over 100 definitions of “terrorism”.[4][5] The concept of terrorism may itself be controversial as it is often used by state authorities (and individuals with access to state support) to delegitimize political or other opponents,[6] and potentially legitimize the state's own use of armed force against opponents (such use of force may itself be described as "terror" by opponents of the state).[6][7]
 
Terrorism has been practiced by a broad array of political organizations for furthering their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments.[8] An abiding characteristic is the indiscriminate use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individual.
 
 I liked the answer of this Germaniun Muslim scholar when he was asked about terrorism and Islam :-
He said : Who started the first world war ? Muslims ?
Who started the second world war ? Muslims ?
Who killed about 20 millions of Aborigines

I am from the largest democratic country and for your information we have the largest number of mosques in our country.

I do believe 95 or more per cent of people whether they are muslim , hindu , jew or may be any other religion wishes to live a happy and peaceful life.

I read you advocated the german scholar. Do you think by doing this you can hide the bad deed of some persons ? I am curious as I know you are from western world and you still want to defend them, for what ?

Dear brother Anil : I respect your feelings and comments, my intentions in this Blog are not what you have derived. I hate all terroists whether they are Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jew or may be from other religion.

Let me clarify, the Western media as you know is fully controlled by Jews who have been terrorizing Palestinians since the birth of Israeel and they have not yet been labelled "Terrorists". Why?

Before 9/11 -all Muslim countries were enjoying a happy and peaceful life and the word: "Terrorism" was not existing in their society. There is one school of thought in Muslim World that act of 9/11 was deliberately done by Jews & Americans to create hatred against Muslims and to explore their "Oil Resources". And there was a movie/film ( I forgot the name! ) about it as well.

I do not want to defend them, they should be condemned and punished severly irrespective of what religion they belong! Because no religion teaches mankind to kill innocent men, women and children. Specially the Arabic word:"Islam" means "PEACE" and terrorists were only born after 9/11 in this great religion. Why?

Muhammad Arif M and Teresa Furdune' : Thanks to both of you as well as earlier all Commentators for your valuable and nice comments on "Terrorism".

My answers to Muhammad Arif's questions are : The Afghan invasion of Russia was a complete failure and at that time Americans & The West supported Talibans ( hence they were not labled "terrorists"!! ) and likewise when Iraq was invaded the USA & West provided "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to Saddam Hussuain regime.

The aftermath of 9/11 changed the scenario because of the vested interest of Americans to take-over "Oil Resources" of Iraq , they invaded Iraq WITHOUT ANY PROOF OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTIONS ( and they killed thousands and thousands of innocent civilians including children and women ) causing death of Saddam Hussain regime as well as giving birth to the so-called"Rebelions " Probably the US & NATO are to be blamed to have created "Freedom Fighters"( like IRA in Northern Ireland ) which are now labled as Terrorists in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan.

My country "Pakistan" was also dragged into the "WAR AGAINST TERRORISM" by Americans due to need of US-Aid our ARMY lost thousands of soldiers and paid heavy price as Talibans intruded into our borders through Afghanistan. Since, the US & NATO troops could not defeat Talibans after a long war, they are now negotiating with Talibans and have stopped US-Aid to Pakistan. Prior to invasion of Afghanistan, my country Pakistan and People of Pakistan were living in PEACE and HARMONY, but is now suffering heavy death toll daily due to terrorists. And, also Pakistan has been put in awkward position in the World Community!

I hope my above summary has provided answers for Who created terrorists in our region and who forced poor people to do terrorism!!

As far as Teresa Furdune' remarks are concerned, I fully and whole heartedly agree that "TERRORISM IS UNACCEPTABLE" in and around the World- And instead we all should promote "Make L O V E and not W A R" because of W A R we are facing "ECONOMIC DOWNTURN" and RECESSION all over the World!

Thanks for the extensive definition and insight about terrorism. Indeed, terrorism has been existing since time immemorial. After the 9/11 it was given another meaning.

Youme Ham, Sana (SC) and Ali Hassan: It is so kind of you all to share your opinion on my Blog: "What is Terrorism" -

I think some countries of the World have deliberately created "FEAR FACTOR" to sell their Arms, Ammunition, Security Systems/Gadgets, etc. to the Rest Of The World for their vested interest and associated Muslims with the word:Terrorism ( Whereas those countries are the Biggest Creator of Terrorism in the World!! )
