Since it seems that there is no consensus on those words, since people doubt as to when to use them, maybe we should go to Random House and find out TERROR , A feeling, instance or cause of intense fear, any period of frightful violence or bloodshed TERRORISM The use of terrorizing methods, the state of fear and submission so produced TERRORIST. A person who uses or favors terrorizing methods.

Furthermore if in any of the violent acts we witness contain some of what is said above, there should be no fear in using that term. However, it may be that for some non sense political reasons, the term may be too strong to the point of forgetting it is associated with the evil it contains.

I Am sorry , but we have seen fear , violence, bloodshed and submission and if with all of this, one refuses to call it terror, then there is something wrong with me
