Insurgents : No, we are not terrorists. You see, we have our ideology unlike the terrorist.
We form a parallel government and we rise up against our government.

Civilians: So, do you kill civilians?

Insurgents : We do kill civilians but only the local people. We are not like the terrorists
who have no idea who they are killing and who do not have a fixed target.

Okay next…

Militants : No, we are not terrorists.
We are…mmmm…have you heard of the word “militia”?
Yes, that’s right. We come from there. We are an organised army.
We only attack the regular army.
We do kill civilians but that’s only co-lateral damages.

Alright! Next…

Naxalites : We are just an extreme form of communism. We only want to rule the
Country.
We do kill civilians but that’s really not our intention. But, we kill.

Pirates : No way, we are not terrorists.
We only rob (exploit) and it’s mostly in the sea.
Do we kill people?
Well, yes if they come in between.

Rapists : Are you crazy? Of course we are not terrorists.
We only rape, you know sexual intercourse.
We kill only when we want to, not always.
Sure we terrorise people but we are not terrorists.

Murderers : We have nothing to do with terrorism, we only murder.
Sometimes we don’t even have guns or even knives.
We just kill.

Kidnappers : We only kidnap. Killing is only 68% of all the kidnapping.
We are not terrorists.

Religious fundamentalists : In the name of God, please don’t ask us if we are a
terrorist or not. If we kill it’s only in the name God, for God
We don’t kill otherwise.

Racists : Oh! We are just the “master race”, we are not terrorists. We sometimes kill
because we…WE ARE JUST SUPERIOR!

Army and police : Come on, you know us. We only protect. Civilians
get killed while we are protecting. It of course terrorises civilians but
We are not terrorists.

Alright ENOUGH!

So who and what is terrorism?

It’s an act of an individual or an organisation that causes fear and terror in the mind of people at large. That’s why we call it TERROR-ism.

Can we stop terrorism?

Until we realise the exact meaning of terrorism, we will never be able to stop it.
