Do you have respect for terrorists?

[NorthwesternFan]

Regardless of their beliefs, I do give them credit for having the guts to try and make their beliefs come true. I think the American media machine gives terrorists a worst rep than they deserve.

Sure,all terrorists do bad things to innocent people, but to understand why they do it, you must understand the people involved.

Most of these citizens from the Middle Eastern rogue nations live underwhelming lives filled with famine, rape, and herpes. They want to make a change, so they join a group led by some crazy rich mogul, who fills their head with promises of afterlife benefit, better lives for their childeren, etc.

And who says all the things they do aren't deserved? There obviously is something that is pissing them off right??

Take this quote for Braveheart as an example

"Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!"

Obviously, countries have to protect themselves from terrorists, but the media portrays them as filthy savages who are absoloutley nuts, and belong in hells kitchen. That may be true, but I would like to see how Dan Abrams and Shepard Smith would fair living their entire lives in one of those hell holes..

I believe in the war on terror, because it benefits ME that these terrorists are kept under controlled. HOWEVER, if I was as poor as these guys, I definitely would be pissed off, and want to do something about it.

[joeshmo51187]

Terrorism refers to a strategy of using violence, or threat of violence targeted against innocents or non-combatants to generate fear, cause disruption, and ultimately, to bring about compliance with specific political, religious, ideological, and personal demands. source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism)

By that definition...the US government is a terrorist to its own citizens...here....let me paraphrase...


Terrorism refers to a strategy of using violence (arrest/incarceration) targeted against innocents or non-combatants to bring about compliance with specific political demands. (Pay your taxes or else.)

Alan Rickman in Die Hard was REALLY cool. Jeremy Irons in the third film was pretty crap.

[twosheds]

Respected terrorists are called "freedom fighters".

[Gibby]

Okay *******, you have hit a new low. First off lets talk about terrorists, I have no respect for terrorists because often they target civilians and not soldiers see the Chechens, the Hezbollah, PLO, Al Qaeda, etc. Now there is a difference between terrorist and freedom fighter, resistance, partisan, and insurgent. These might kill the occasional civy but only if they feel that that person may be a collaborator but they kill them for their connection to their enemy's military so they take out police, constabularies, and government officials and not Joe average.

Point two, William Walleys (Wallace) was not a terrorist. No, he led an army that was as uniformed as was possible for it. He was an above average military thinker and he fought against the army of Edward I of England. He was not too involved in the slaughter of civilians. Also, when quoting Braveheart, a good movie but almost no historical value, you are quoting Gibson and not Walleys. To learn more about Walleys read Braveheart or the narrative of Blind Harry.

...but I do emphasize and understand their frustration with being disenfranchised and squeezed out of the political process.

Nonetheless, murder is murder and I can't condone that.

Nah, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

You were bound by probabilities alone to side with me once in a while and be right.

Oh, are interested in the name of the forum that NWF will be moderating?

[SpikedLemonade]

Pretty good, but I believe they are calling it "Has the Colour of Your Come Changed Yet?"

Uh dude most of these people, some of the Iraqi Insurgents and Palestinians who throw rocks excluded because they are mainly focused on driving an enemy military out of their respective country and are therefore partisans or guerillas, are not poor. The 19 hijackers on 9/11 were well off. These guys that can travel to training camps for Al Qaeda need money for travel costs to get there. The muslims who acted in Europe were generally university students. Now NWF as you will see if you get to college you will feel poor, but you are actually better off than most. The foreign fighters in Iraq that are killing civilians who aren't police or government workers are pretty well off. They might be pissed but buying weapons and paying to travel to do your bidding takes considerable amounts of money.
