To most people who give it a few moments of thought, "terrorism" is the use of violence or threats of violence to prevent people from exercising rights and prerogatives that they would otherwise exercise.
In the minds of the terrorists, the evil that is done by the terroristic acts is less than the evil that is sought to be avoided. Thus, when a "Christian" bombs an abortion clinic (destroying property), he is trying to prevent the killing of innocent people through abortion. When Islamic terrorists blow up two large buildings in New York, killing thousands, they are trying to convince the United States to stop supporting and enabling the Zionist atrocities in what Christians refer to as "The Holy Land." When cartoonists in France are killed, it is to stop them and other "infidels" from disrespecting The Prophet.
While Islam may or may not be a "religion of peace," its adherents are responsible for a hugely disproportionate percentage of the "terroristic" activities in the world.
Why do you think that is?
