but that is a bit one sided...which is the problem here
to state some one who is militant and not a part of a government, is a terrorist... ok, but the use of the word, implies much more... it implies some one that causes destruction, with the intent of overthrowing a foreign power... with a callus disregard to that powers sovereignty, and human rights. Taking on a moral high ground, that allows for any malicious actions, commonly, but not entirely based on differences of religion.
another instance of a word commonly misused, is "hypocrite," which mean actor, but is used to describe some one that applies a double standard. by that, i could say that king hez, is a hypocrite...by endorsing wendy's never ending war against *every one* but condemning stu for holding king to his own promises
