What defines "an act of terrorism?"?
It seems to me that the Christian faith spawns some radical element and actions, but nobody uses the term terrorism then.

Terror, facing death. Seconds to live. When this happens to us, the blood drains from our face in fear, we turn sort of gray/green, Ash color. Severe Danger! End-time sign.

The word terrorist didn't exist when Christians invaded North America and murdered mass numbers of native men, women and children claiming their dead souls for their son of a god.

Any act that is intended to instill fear, to disrupt, and cause terror among the biggest number possible.

It's not politically wise to use that word when you're talking about a Christian.

It is action to terrify another person, often due to the potentially fatal consequences of that action. Even kidnapping a person can rightly be called an act of terrorism because the kidnapped person is often abused sexually, psychologically, used as a slave and/or held as a ransom for money, otherwise they will be murdered. Mowing pedestrians down on the pavement by deliberately driving into them is an act of terrorism. Shooting indiscriminately into a crowd of people is an act of terrorism. Setting fire to living people is an act of terrorism. Throwing acid in the fact of a person is an act of terrorism.
Need I go on? Are you really serious in thinking Christian faith can equate with any of that?
