GermanNounTerrorist m. (genitive Terroristen, plural Terroristen) Terroristin f Related termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. At present, there is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war. The history of terrorist organizations suggests that they do not select terrorism for its political effectiveness. Individual terrorists tend to be motivated more by a desire for social solidarity with other members of their organization than by political platforms or strategic objectives, which are often murky and undefined. The word "terrorism" is politically and emotionally charged, and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. A 1988 study by the United States Army found that over 100 definitions of the word “terrorism” have been used. The concept of terrorism is itself controversial because it is often used by states to delegitimize political or foreign opponents, and potentially legitimize the state's own use of terror against them. A less politically and emotionally charged term (used not only for terrorists), allowing for more accurate analyses, is violent non-state actor. Terrorism has been practiced by a broad array of political organizations for furthering their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments. From Wikipedia under the

Q. How does what happened on 9/11 and the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center relate to deviance? Why do differences in cultural/religious beliefs impact on how we interact with one another? How do the terrorists justify what they did? Asked by theprince21187 - Thu Sep 18 14:04:51 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. I smell homework. First 9/11 was a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It was the second attack to be completely accurate. As there is no justification for what the terrorists did I don't have a clue how they could justify it. Even in the Koran it says to not make war on women and children and there were both women and children on those planes. Answered by janice h - Thu Sep 18 14:15:42 2008 What is the difference between a lawn gnome and a terrorist?
Q. To some who shower us with their infinite wisdom on this forum, absolutely none. A yard gnome is just as ideologically driven, religiously devoted. He is just as capable of inflicting millions of dollars of loss and hundreds if not thousands of deaths. He is just as capable of operating and financing independent terrorist cells of other yard gnomes. And the only reason he doesn't have a nuclear weapon yet is because his brain is just too small to grasp nuclear fission. So, the next time he trips you on the way out the door, remember! It was an act of terrorism! Oh, but wait, I shouldn't be causing so much fear. Sorry. Then again the alternate explanation is that yes, yard gnomes are just harmless lumps of plaster. And so is Ramsey bin… [cont.] Asked by Helen Sambas - Thu Sep 7 05:54:40 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The terrorist sow violence while a lawn gnome is passive.
