And yet, violence is the larger set (simply because there can be so much variety in violent acts), with terrorism being a subset. So while violence does not equal terroism, terroism certainly equals violence Nevermind about question number one- I found this: And a little further on there was also this answer to question 2: >> Protest is primarily "about" taking exception, terrorism is primarily "about" causing fear, and VIOLENCE is primarily "about" assault.<< No doubt that terrorism usually involves violence but terrorism isn't "about" violence, it's about coercion and instilling fear. Violence and terrorism are different concepts with a lot of overlap in application. When protesters get violent and, say, attack the cops, they aren't trying to coerce, they're acting out. Burning a cross is about coercion, but it's not violent.
