Actually I really can't understand why there is a term like terrorist?
We already have enough terms that define the actions of "terrorist" like
murder, kidnapping, burglary, plunder, and so on. What is the difference
if you killed someone for political reasons or personal reasons? what is
the difference if you steal money from a bank for your own profit or as
a money for your political organization?
I live in a country in which even writing books or making public speech
can be regarded as terrorist actions by the law. I always think a
criminal action is a criminal action, either political or not, and a
non-criminal action is a non criminal action, either political or not. I
don't agree classifying criminal actions as political/non-political
either for increasing the punishment or decreasing it.
