Terrorists are the most inhuman , horrible , insane creatures on earth. According to me , we cannot name terrorists as normal human beings. Terrorists have very horrible, dangerous mindset which is very dangerous to mankind.

[Sidiq SP]

terrorism is the apex of violence, In contrast to other crimes, terrorists are more cruel than murder, fraud, and robbery and crime from the other's

[KP Oli]

Terrorism is the use of violence to establish a sense of fear on targeted people.

[suzukiy]

I think terrorists are people who make fear in society, and always make damage to anyone and his religion if it does the destruction and blind people fear it is a terrorist. it's in my opinion.

[aleksej996]

To be honest, from the meaning of the word, you can't really see terrorism as so surprising and outrageous.
Is it so surprising that there are people who will do crazy things just to scare you enough so you don't bother them?
After all the invasions that America did on other countries, how is it so weird that there will be people who will blow themselves u, just for you to hear their suffering and pay attention to it. Life is cheap when your country is at war and all your family is dead. I don't support any kind of violence, but you should think about a different perspective. Wouldn't you kill people that were responsible or at least in part contributed to the death of your family? Think about a father who got their children killed in a drone strike, it definitively isn't ok to hurt people because of it, but is it so surprising?

It will never end in debating radicalism or terrorism. This such militant groups have been exist since hundreds years ago. These radical groups are also very intense influencing human by teaching faith and paradigm-paradigm so that not a few young people who anesthetized by the pseudo-paradigm. Even many young men who want to sacrifice himself to become a suicide bomber. This radical thinking and movements are usually associated with ideological and religious factors. The term radicalism is the result of labeling of religious and political movements that have distinguishing characteristics from mainstream religious and political movements.

Radicalism caused terrorism. Radicalism in the context of understanding shallow texts and religious norms. Radicalism in the context of being trapped in the political situation and Western hegemony. Radicalism in the context of being dissatisfied with the performance of the government and wanting to make a big revolution. Therefore, radicalism in the name of religion is not infrequently then cause the conflict, disturbing the stability and security of the country.

Its usually done in public where theres a lot of people. It could be mall, park or other places like buildings. Most terrorist do it to create terror or fear in society. Most of the terrorist have motive to what they're doing. It could be because of their religion i dont know but i think some GANGS do it or just plainly doing cause they like it. But the general idea of it is to kill or massacre lot of people. I think it could be said the terrorist is the pinnacle act of violence and it is very inhumane.

They are the one who are committing crimes and war. I still believe that in the right time, all the problems that we encountered will be resolved. Nowadays, terrorism is very relevant in the whole world. Almost all of the country have a terrorist group that aims to kill people. This will stop if all of the people in the nation will help each other to fight the terrorist in the right way.

First and foremost, people, who were sometimes zombified by some program, were told that they must fight those who oppress them, and for this they are going for this. It seems to me to call them criminals hard, but sick people, or with an unstable psyche just right.

[Mometaskers]

Well, by a broad definition, they really are violent non-state groups that mostly target civilians. Had these been states, then bombing concerts would have already constituted an act of war. That is why it's hard to go after terrorists.

And just to put a pooper on everyone's heads... "One man's terrorist is another man's hero". Yeah, let that sink in.

[Bakukang]

Being a Terrorist is an act or behavior of wanting to conquer something or a place in a bad way of spreading fear and terror through out the terrorist want, its like they want something and they will do everything whether it is good, bad, beneficial or harmful to people or to its entities to get it.

[Rhosadah]

Terrorism is the culmination of violence, terrorism is the apex of violence. It could be violence without terror, but no terror without violence. Terrorism is not the same as intimidation or sabotage. Targets of intimidation and sabotage are generally immediate, whereas terrorism is not. Victims of acts of Terrorism are often innocent people.terrorists intend to create a sensation for the public to pay attention to what they are striving for.

Terrorists mean enemies with evil threats to countries. Just like ISIS and other terrorists who want to take over the country we belong to. Many hate terrorists because they have fallen victim to good people. Just like the Christians who were beheaded by the ISISs, they did not care about it because they were too brutal to people they did not want to see. It would be nice if the governments were promptly concerned about the problem of suppressing terrorists who were destroying their country.

terrorist = psyco / idiots

[LydiaBob]

I think the true meaning of it is to spread fear in the crowd, so that they can manipulate them easier

[MostHigh]

Any one who tries to make their voice heard by killing or insight others to kill or try to kill is a terrorist. Terrorism has no religious, racial, academic, triba and political callers.
