"But what is terrorism? As a pejorative, the word can be a political weapon, and it is so used in international debate. If one party can successfully attach the label terrorist to its opponent, then it has indirectly persuaded others to adopt its moral viewpoint.

                    [Summary] => Unquestionably, terrorism is the use of terror to produce a condition of fear and submission. Internally, it can be used to support or topple regimes. That is why there is the saying, "One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter." This explains why up to now, there is no universally accepted definition of terrorism, local or international.
