first of all the term terrorist seems like the most over used term in our society. Second I dont even want to use the stupid term because it is a word that has no clear definition that everyone can agree on. If you tried to google it or wikipedia it they would give you ten different answers or say well we cant get a clear defintion of what is terrorism and what isnt. And I say that you cant say that this guy is a terrorist right away unless you have evidence that the only reason he did it was for a terror(fear) inducing result. Maybe that is why he did it. But he might also have done it because he couldnt stand that the guy was doing something immoral and he thought he deserved to die. Like if an Islamic person kills George Bush maybe its terrorism but maybe he just killed him because he thinks for him killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and torturing others that he just deserves to die. I wouldnt jump to call the guy a terrorist you probably would. I say its terrorism when the only intent is to cause terror. Revenge and murder is sometimes just that. If it strikes terror into others that might be a secondary effect.
