I am not talking about why groups use violence, that is a different debate about morality. The simple matter is based on the definition of terrorism that is used by the UN;
'The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear'
If you fall into that catigory, then you are a terrorist. Why you are doing it
is a completly different matter. Do you understand where i am coming from?
