…outside Islamic freedom fighters or al Qaeda terrorists as they are oft called.”

A terrorist is a person who intends to harm innocents in order to bring a negative effect on his enemy. A terrorist group encourages some or all of its members to use this strategy. The strategy works.

Terrorist events disorient societies by spreading fear among friends, families, or similar others who could be targeted. The fear is exacerbated by the fact that we have no way of knowing who will be hit, by whom, how it will occur, when or where to expect the attack. When the terrorist is ghost like it adds to the scary effect. The cumulative effect of not knowing the source or where or when it will surface, but that the event could be devastating, is a paranoid psychosis that is contagious.

For these reasons terrorism is particularly heinous and condemnable.

They are often called Al Qaeda terrorists when they are Al Qaeda members or serve the Al Qaeda agenda and they commit acts of terrorism. It is only inappropriate when we refer to paramilitary insurgents who are fighting in the open as terrorists. That is a corruption of the term terrorist. However, use of the term ‘freedom fighters’ is corrupt for the same reasons.
