When will Terrorist Era end?

[QUOTE="mohan88"]How about this question......If Osama Bin Laden is dead, is that mean Terrorist are defeated?Silverbond

Wikipedia writes that the radical Sicarii offshoot of the Jewish Zealots and the Hashshashin (or Assassins), an offshoot of the Ismā'īlī sect of Shia Muslims, are one of the earliest forerunners of modern terrorism.

Where there is organized civilization, there will be terrorism to undermine it.

Terrorism is the tool of the oppressed and weak in the face of adversity and suffering. I personally disagree with it entirely but it has no true beginning. Where there are bad governments, there are terrorist groups willing to take them down and establish new regimes.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"] I don't buy this concept that terrorism is the results of oppression and adversity; terroism is the results of ideological zealotry for the most part. MetalGear_Ninty

[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] I'd say it's a combination of both, with oppression as the underlying factor. No matter how zealous, it's quite unlikely the unoppressed give their lives without some sort of mistreatment or adversity.Danm_999

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"] Pull the other one. :roll: British terrorists have lived a very cosy lifestyle in Britain -- they have not been oppressed at all. Nor, do I imagine was Osama Bin Laden who was an extremely wealthy guy. This excuse of 'oppression' as the underlying factor absolutely holds no water, whatsoever.MetalGear_Ninty

[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] Nobody is using it as an excuse except those who commit these crimes. I'm merely offering an explanation on what causes people to turn to zealotry. But you'd be crazy to deny that the injustices these people feel, even if they are completely perceived (which most of the time I feel they are) are motives in what they do. Some form of oppression motivated all these people, even if it didn't affect them personally. The injustices they perceive against their religion as a whole globally is a good example, plenty of Western born Muslims travel to Pakistan or Israel and get the first hand experiences they need to make that jump. Mix in some firebrand preachers and you've got a dangerous situation. I agree with you about Osama, but I don't see Osama as a true 'terrorist', more of an opportunist forcing other people to sacrifice themselves to advance his own agenda, whether they be political, religious or economic. I have no doubt he experienced a minimum of oppression in his life.Danm_999

The terrorisim ear will never end.

It is an act of desperation by the overly zealous followers of Islam as there somewhat isolated world is succombing to foriegn influences. I don't mean to be offensive, but that is what is happening.

Its happened before throughout history. An example would be the oppression of the Christians in moorish spain. Although they did not have bombs, several similaritys can be noticed.

So even if "Islamic" terrorisim ends, terrorisim itself will remain as an invaluble tool to groups unable to make direct conflict.

[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]Well... part of the reason for the surge in Islamic terrorism in the last five years is perceived oppression by the US, or 'The West' in general.Funky_Llama

What a Hero

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"][QUOTE="ElZilcho90"] Care to enlighten us?Trooperdx3117

[QUOTE="Trooperdx3117"][QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"] The IRA before 1969 fought a guerilla war, no terrorist acts were implemented by them. After 1969 and the split within the IRA The PIRA and OIRA fought a war against British rule which was started when britsh forces opened fire on unarmed Nationalist civilians. during the height of the troubles the PIRA luanched a Bombing campaign in England to force a settlement on the Norths politically unstable situation as British government had failed many times before. it was a war caused by the British and as propaganda it was deemed terrorist. the British were the terrorists, simple.RiseAgainst12

I'd say they were. The cause they are fighting for shouldn't define whether or not they are terrorists; terrorism can be done in the name of a "good" or "bad" cause ;).

[QUOTE="redwolf22"]

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"] Ah yes but they also launched bombing campaign in England under Stephen Hayes and Sean Russell in the early 1940's and tried to make contact with Nazi Germany which meant the Nazis often dropped agents into Ireland to link up with the I.R.A. Also the I.R.A. can technically be linked back to being a terrorist organisation in 1935 when it was banned by the government. And just because they didn't do bombings at this time did'nt mean they didn't commit terrorist acts, they were involved in numerous murders and army ammunition dump raids

[QUOTE="markop2003"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] There is no clear cut line between the terrorist and the revolutionist. Terrorism and patriotism is all subjective. The founding fathers of the U.S, for example, could be considered radical terrorists.

Which proves my point of terrorism and patriotism being subjective. 

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"][QUOTE="Trooperdx3117"] As far as im concerned a terrorist kills innocent civilians a revolutionist only tries to kill military targetsTrooperdx3117

[QUOTE="Trooperdx3117"][QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"] Thank you, the IRA and later the PIRA had no intention to kill innocent civillians all targets were millitary or economic and precautions were taken to avoid civillian casualties.Jango-Bawls

Terrorism might end when a country that kills innocent ppl for their oil, land and natural resources stops doing so.

I belive america is a country of terrorists, no matter how righteous they are .

Imo, flame on.

Never because there will always be someone who hates someone and will do something to that other person/nation/whomever, Terrorism is just a term that describes what a group of people do to incite fear, to try and establish ideological change.

And as long as America remains a nation there will be groups who will do what they can do to prove a point to the world.

Terrorism will never end.

That's why the "War on Terror" is a complete joke. People will always hate other people
