“Terrorism” is of two kinds: terrorism that is evil based upon wicked
tyrannical acts, and terrorism that is good and desired based on
necessary and justified acts. The terrorism that is evil is injustice,
double standards, tyranny, and aggression, in all the hateful
connotations that these words imply. It targets women and children,
civilians and noncombatants, trying to force defeat and difficult
political decisions by spreading terror. This kind is what most people
immediately think about when hearing the word terrorism. Often people
associate it with what they have been preconditioned to picture by
various government agencies and segments of the mass media. Muslims are
routinely portrayed as terrorists even though many are either totally
innocent of the charge or are more innocent than many of their
antagonists who aggress against them. “Muslim terrorism” is a media and
think tank byword, even though one would be hard pressed to find the
equivalent term of Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist terrorism in
usage. Certain institutions and individuals – with known agendas and
backings – have been instrumental in fabricating and perpetuating
misinformation, exaggeration, and previously disqualified and refuted
misunderstandings and slanders.
