Terms for terrorists

What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?
For example,how would you see a Palestinian guerilla?
In this 'War on Terror',there are too many shades of grey.How can we tell who to shoot and who not to?
Note:I removed the earlier post because I felt it was too controversial and might start a flame war.It seemed insensitive.you can find the original post in some Russian military forum on Network54. -
it does not matter what word u use... at the end of the day, they hav to die

Domestic & Foregin terrorism, irregardless of whether the act is government sponsor or not.
The IRA were consider terrorist by the British government. Can you guess the other Irish terror group in Ireland that had the support of the British government to fight the IRA?

as long as the target is classified as 'threat', take him down. otherwise, disorient, neutralise or flex-cuff him and secure your sector.Originally posted by Sardaukar:In this 'War on Terror',there are too many shades of grey.How can we tell who to shoot and who not to? -
Though not official, the term 'muslim militant' has been increasingly used..
There was a uproar sometime back when it was demanded that all news drop the term 'muslim' and use only 'militants'..guess they failed as many 'conflicts' of these militants are religious in nature.
My above comment is not meant to be racist ok..just 'news' -
radicals, extremists, terrorists, guerillas, militants. call em whatever you wanna, they're still the same.

What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter -
Radicals: One who advocates fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutionsOriginally posted by palmerised:radicals, extremists, terrorists, guerillas, militants. call em whatever you wanna, they're still the same.
Example: Charles Darwin
Extremists: One who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics
Example: *shrugs* i hate politics
Terrorists:One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism
Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
Guerilla: A member of an irregular, usually indigenous military or paramilitary unit operating in small bands in occupied territory to harass and undermine the enemy, as by surprise raids.
Militants: Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.
So to sum it up
Radicals: talk a lot.
Extremists: Recommend a lot.
Terrorists: I whack you a lot for no reason that you know.
Guerilla: I whack you because you attack my home.
Militants: You dont come near me or i whack you ok.
Oh, and if Guerilla is the same as a Terrorist...
We happen to venerate a Terrorist as a national hero.
His name is Lim Bo Seng, a member of Force 136.
What's in a name? A rose.... -
hahaha thank you.
good one mate. -
For the man who wrote fictions that have terrorism involved, I'm surprised at your quote!!Originally posted by TomClancy:A MATTER OF OPINION
Didn't those pencil-d@#ks at Langley, Vir, contacted you to educate them on the subject after the 9/11?

Er! I think Lernado Da Vinci & the likes, can also be considered as radicals considering the fact that they enjoy ass-licking, licking ass & getting poked in the ass****.Originally posted by Johnston:Radicals: One who advocates fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions

Oh, and just for info,
The entire US Revolutionary War was fought by:
radicals, extremists, terrorists, guerillas, militants. call em whatever you wanna, they're still the same.
(Direct Quote)
Because:
Radical: They were going against Britain.
Extremist: They were doing un-normal colonial things.
Terrorists: Darned right some "terroristy" actions were done.
Guerilla: The whole war was more or less a guerilla action.
Militant: The US colonist was a Militant to the extreme.
So...
Hmm.
Erm...
The entire UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a "Terrorist State"?
Oh, come to think of it, SM Lee Kuan Yew was also a radical.
He advocated views that were different.

Hmm.Originally posted by Sardaukar:What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?

Replace "Palestinian" with "Afghanistan"
And set the timezone back to the Soviet invasion.
.
Hollywood even made a movie glorifying their struggle. (Rambo III).
The US supported them.
That was when the Afghanistans were fighting against people who had invaded their country.
Fast forward to post 9/11.
Mr Osama struck at the US first, in an unprovoked attack.
The US retaliated.
What is the difference?
The difference is that a Guerilla is fighting against people who attacked his home, his country.
And a terrorist just kills people for a percieved cause.
Any moron who says that a Guerilla is a Terrorist also should examine our own history and the history of countries that have been occupied by invaders.
Force 136. Various Resistance movements.
Come to think of it, China is a massive Terrorist nation because the current iteration came through by the actiosn of "radicals, extremists, terrorists, guerillas, militants. call em whatever you wanna, they're still the same." -
Hmm! I actually do see your point.Originally posted by Johnston:Oh, and just for info,

But I would like to add that there was an "army" formed, with the help of the frenchis, to fight the Brits face to face on the battle fields.
And since you know so much about muskets, I'm sure you know how they fought wars during that time.
I do believed,"terrorist state" should refer to Canada, since most terrorist goes there for sking & crossing into the U.S.A.
As for Mr Lee Kuan Yew, I've heard of MI-6 having a very thick file on him. I just forgot if they ever did close his file!

Yes yes, rifle volleys, cavalry charges.Originally posted by John Ching:Hmm! I actually do see your point.

But really, im angry at the "catch all statement" made by someone.
Hmm.
Example:
Bill Gates, Sim Wong Hoo.
Should they have stayed quiet there and worked at a job?
Hey i got this radical idea, but it's too dangerous. I think i will be tarred and feathered if i say anything.
I wonder what sound we will be hearing from our PCs now. PC Speaker? Anyone remember that?
History is changed by people who are radical and extreme.
Not by people who are meek and conformist.
The sun revolves around the earth.
Yes it does. You believe that?
The earth is flat too.
It's very flat. You'd fall off past a certain point.
Human behaviour is controlled by humors.
So on, so forth. -
