    Sorry, that just doesn’t follow the actual definition of terrorism. Remove the comma, and “often” and we’re real closer.

    Literally the first result on Google From wiki:

    Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.[1]

    Not every murderer is a terrorist.

        Dumb. You don’t get to change definitions of words because you don’t grasp the concept. Sorry. You are just flat wrong here.

          I’m not changing the definition. I’m simply explaining my interpretation of it. Threats of murder are a form of terrorism.

          If a person that plays guitar is called a guitarist, then a person that terrorizes others is a terrorist.

          It’s pretty simple.
