peace to all,

for bad luck,
There is neither an academic nor an international legal consensus regarding the proper definition of the word “terrorism”.[1][2] Various legal systems and government agencies use different definitions of “terrorism”. Moreover, the international community has been slow to formulate a universally agreed upon, legally binding definition of this crime. These difficulties arise from the fact that the term “terrorism” is politically and emotionally charged!!

let’s try to find a fair reasonable definition for the word “terrorism”

Yeah, because we don’t want to hurt the terrorists’ feelings.  I’d like to start the negotiations for a definition of “terrorist” as any Muslim male between the ages of 15 and 35 who uses violence to express his sexual frustrations.

Muslim women don’t qualify because they are sexually abused, not frustrated.

The Moslem woman is the ultimate preserved jewel in Islam,

Here in the West, they’re human beings.

Is it very difficult to find a definition for “terrorism”
One more try, If we merge the above three definitions we will reach that,

TERRORISM is “The use of violence, great physical force and threats to intimidate or coerce, to achieve some goals, especially for political purposes”

Is that seems to be reasonable?

Why must everything be an endless source of confusion. The definitions were provided by those dictionary sources at great time and expense. What?  You don’t believe it? How about? ... “You know it when you see it.”

Not that hard.

Terrorism; see Islam

See.

let’s try to find a fair reasonable definition for the word “terrorism”

Terrorist/terrorism is one of those terms that reflects the user’s current state of mind. It seems not to be a word that can ever be universally agreed upon. The person/group being brutalized uses the term in one way, and the person/group doing the brutalizing might see some completely different person/group as fitting the term. As opponent sides shift their alliances, so can the term.

Dictionaries tend to ignore such in-group/out-group confusions. Instead, they encourage the game to continue.

It was easy finding samy’s buttons.  Moving on. 

samy, as nonverbal eloquently wrote, the definition depends on your perspective.  The French Revolution from the perspective of the uprising peasants was a good thing but for the Catholic church and French nobility is was a bad thing.  The Holocaust was a good thing for Hitler but not so good for the Jews (well, maybe that was a good thing for the Muslims), gays, Gypsies, mentally retarded, political opponents, etc.  Using your definition the USA is a terrorist nation for bringing war to Iraq and supporting Libyan rebels, but Americans see the wars as the growing pains of democracy as it spreads.  Mubarak was a terrorist, by your definition, but it is safe to assume he saw the people as uppity children who do not know what is good for them and need his guidance and discipline.

Terrorism?

It’s basically about making others scared in the hope that they’ll do as you want them to do. It rarely works and, when it does, control by terrorists only last as long as it takes the terrorised to terrorise the terrorists. Terrorists are gutless. Cowards. They’re very much like gay bashers. They get a kick out of giving it but, when stood up to, they run like little girls.

Terrorists are the scum of the earth and the slime of the deep. They are, for the most part, a product of that other evil, religion. And the religions most at fault are I-slam and Xtianity. In that order.

The reason you believe that muslim women are so pure is because they know if they said they weren’t they would be killed so they keep their mouth shut.

Yup. That’s terrorism.
