I think that it's valid to say that there is an underlying element of protest in terrorism. You can't legitimately divorce the two just as you can't legitimately conflate them of course you can divorce the two to say there is an 'element of protest' ergo terrorists can be justifiably called 'protesters' , again, leads to the abuse of the language that borders on newspeak terrorists are no more 'protesters' than their modus operandi, killing innocents can be called 'civil disobedience' politically motivated murder does not 'protest' make a recent terrorist attack in mauritania (bastion of western imperialism to be sure /sarcasm) spurs protest somehow i do not doubt the protesters would object to be confused with the terrorists they were protesting against arabicnews.com Nouakchott demonstrates against the north attacks Mauritania, Politics, 6/9/2005 Thousands of Mauritanian people took the streets on Wednesday in a people's march organized by the ruling social democratic party in protest of the attack which targeted a military position to the north east of the country in which 15 soldiers were killed and other 17 were injured. The demonstrators raised emblems deploring this act which they described as criminal. In the demonstration, the ruling party called on the Mauritanian people to rally around President Mu'aweya Seidi Ahmad al-Taye who has been ruling the country since more than 20 years. Nouakchott held this incident responsible for "al-Salafeyah group for call and fighting" which by its turn claimed in a statement on the Internet responsibility for Monday's attack on a military group in al-Maghiti area to the east of al-Zweirat city in north Mauritania. Opponent sides said that Mauritania exlpoits the war led by the USA against terrorism to oppress its Islamists opposers. The authorities detained in the few recent months some 50 suspects among Islamists, saying that they have links to al-Salafeyah group and the security forces inspected mosques and confiscated religious books
