What is a Terrorist?

How do u define a terrorist? One man’s terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. For example, Al Qaeda attacked America because they feel America is trying to destroy Islam so they feel like they are acting in self-defense. However we just see it as terrorism. In the movie, paradise now we saw how the other side views terrorist acts. The friends viewed there killing as “God’s Will” and a way to fight against oppression they felt. Their goal was of more than just killing people they wanted to send a message. This movie gave me some insight into how a terrorist thinks. Terrorist organizations aren’t brutal men only out to kill. They are doing what they believe is the only way to fight against oppression.
