    One who inspires fear (or "terror") in order to accomplish selfish or evil deeds. But that's just my definition.

    A buzz word used by this current administration to define anyone who is against this administration. Its true meaning is someone who uses any means including killing to manipulate a group or government into doing something that the terrorists want. George Bush fits this definition.

    One who creates terror. The motives are a different issue. Youre a terror-ist to a rabbit caught in your headlights as much as the next person willing to kill themselfs for a political or religious purposes. Im one by nature, like any other predator is to their prey.

    Could it be the USA media? They give details of how simple it is to build a particular type of bomb even, showing the most effective place to put it.

    It seems to me that they have a big hand in at least promoting it.

    Why is this in the Religion section? Terrorism is something dealt with on a national-security level and a criminal level, not a religious one.
