What is the Purpose of Terrorists?

[OverMyHead]

I mean, seriously, what is their purpose? What do they intend to achieve?

And can you look through their eyes, and see what they see?

Believe me the leaders of these terror groups are very intelligent and capable people... they know what they are doing... they know that before long that region will control most of the world's oil supply... they want to unite every arab nation into a single islamic empire and overthrow the west... they will never succeed ofcourse... but they are going to kill a lot more people before all is said and done

I like how alot of people here in the thread are immediately lumping terrorists into the single category of Muslim! Hahahah!

But anyway. The question of "what is terrorism" or "what is a terrorist" is actually a complicated one. You have to remember that in the mind of the terrorist, his cause is a just one. And if the cause is just, then how is terrorism much different from the War Of Independence in America?

Ironically, terrorism has worked in the past. Terrorism is a sort of way to say "you won't let us have our fair share? You won't let us sit at the table? Then we're going to blow you up until someone listens to us and we get a place at the table!".

It worked for the IRA.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for being a terrorist.

So the 'I' in IRA stands for Isreal, right?

 

[kainedamo]

Israeli Republican Army??

Funnily enough, I was watching Star Trek: Next Generation today. Picard and Data were talking about terrorism, and Data was talking about how terrorism has worked in the past. He said the Irish got "Irish unification" in 2024. Wonder if this prediction will become true?

 

[Fried Gold]

Israeli Republican Army??

Well if all terrorism is about reclaiming Israel/Jerusalem, than I guess it must be.

More likely, however, is that swifty was talking out of his uneducated arse.

 

[WTFimVENOM]
