Someone good-hearted, and thus ever-so-naive, thought of the wonders he could achieve - presumably to provoke the UN to action - if only the International Community could agree upon a working definition of “terrorism”. He offered:
“Terrorism is the deliberate targeting by an individual, a group of people or a state of non-combatant civilians with an intention to scare, injure, kill, regardless of the purpose or cause for such action.”
If we follow this definition, going to the cinema to watch a horror film, however bad, will be construed as a terrorist act. Is this really “the sort of thing that needs to be stopped!”?
