Really? So Ted Kaczynski, free of any co-conspirators, is not a terrorist because of that?

No, he had an agenda. The Kennedy killer might also have had that but it died with him.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

So it's the presence of an aganda that decides whether it is a "simple" crime, or terrorism? No other factors?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Yeah, having an agenda besides killing as many people as possible for fun, could easily be one definition of terrorism.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Does it matter what the agenda is?
What of expected results?
"Killing as many people as possible". Is this a requirement for terrorism?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

No - one could be enough if it has the wanted effect.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I suppose you could say it's okay for them to try...No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

but 9-11 was a swipe which was a bit too broad eh? I bet they got some engineers and especially financiers involved with US operations in middle east...
or only "one at a time" targets are allowed under "not terrorism" umbrella... and if they were succesfull... especially if they whacked Obama, some Republicans would even be grateful... well... they have even more in common with Iranians than previously apparent

Obviously, you want it to be pointless to talk to you. The sad part is that you think you are being clever posting stuff like that.Originally posted by BlackCat View Post“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

Then why don't you post smart things? Saying terrorism=all murders is not smart. It's asinine and childish. In general, it betrays that you really don't know what you are talking about.Originally posted by BlackCat View PostQuite the opposite.

No, I've been quite specific in what acts constitute terrorism and what don't. The fact that you can't read doesn't change this.Originally posted by BlackCat View Post“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
