RE: Definition of Terrorism is not a synonym of Islam

I am suprised that almost the whole world tends to want us to believe that the word terrorism means Lockerbie or 9/11 or any such event only. I would like to make this clear, at least according to my intelllectual underastanding; Terrorism is an act of savagery and an abuse of humanity. It does not matter who does it. Please don't make us belive (and am sure you can't) that terrorism is limited to Muslims. How do you, for example, explain the inocent deaths of Arab Palestinian kids and women killed (deliberately) by Israeli military. Okey, that may be complex to decifer for this discussion, consider in Africa where people like Joseph Kony, Laurent Nkunda, and other CHRISTIANS have invaded villages and killed multitutdes. Why are you guys hesistnat to call these brothers terrorists? We all know that a terrorist is any violent attacker, like the Americans in Vietnam, not just a Muslim attacker. Think before you comment, brother. We all need a safe world, and even safer from secterian comments. Thank You!
