Jihadism or Terrorism ?.

,,interesting subject issue raised by you about "jihadist" vs "terrorist" from the perception of western and muslim eyes. As a good muslim, all of us are direct/in-directly involved in our own hijad, in your case against corruption from the way I look at it. From me, I guess about inspirations to all malaysian but lets look a bit further on terrorism ...indeed, FORTUNATELY as for ideological war, they have very much diminished in recent years. What changed is the new term called "TERRORISM" has taken centre stage and a new role in war.
Terrorism is indeed the cancer of our modern world using primitive methods to instill fear to everyone. No state is immune to it.
,,,Similarly like cancer, unless properly treated drastically, its growth is inexorable, until it poison and engulfs the whole society on which it feeds and drags it together to final destruction.
,,,"Terrorism is said to be the deliberate and systematic murder, maiming and mancing of the innocent to inspire fear for political ends"... The usual apologia for terrorism is that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", which is perfectly true and perfectly irrelevant ; I would say, "MURDER is not justified by sticking a different label on it yaa !!"
,,,The political justification - the claim that the end justiflies the means - is a debate crucial for fighting terrorism, and unfortunately it has not been resolved as yet to-date.
,,,Also there are many differences between terrorist groups. Some seek out what they would consider as "enemy targets", usually military/police. A few take great pains to avoid killing innocent people but others deliberately choose civilians as their primary targets. By all counts, they are all terrorists, however many might misconstrue the situation. The very word terrorist itself comes from "TERROR" - shall I need to further explain ?. (o.k. lets dig deeper into these new hazards or what some calls war against terrorism b4 it spread its wings into our society at large).
,,,There are three basic broad bands or categories (in fact more so-lah) of independent terrorist movements in the world as it is ; those inspired by Political fervour or even Fascistism movements; those inspired by Nationalism or Ethnic grievances and finally those inspired by Religion or in most case so identified or called/termed by the existing western culture, i.e. "Islamic Jihadist". Maybe, If i can further add the fourth category is terrorism directed/supported by Governments in the latest term it justifies itself as WAR AGAINST TERRORISM by invading other nation or state !. Geeee.
AND finally but not the end as yet, a new treat from individual lunatics or self proclaimed revolutionist and they are by far worse than all the other types of terrorists as mentioned above. A growing numbers, if you care to read some of their crazy/lunatic comments in the internet nowadays.

In conclusion, we are all a Jihadist but not a Terrorist in our struggle for a better nation. ...BUT indeed, mr. BUSH was/is the biggest TERRORIST in the century from my eyes.
