Terrorist: Annotated Bibliography

Page history last edited by Derek Blanton 12 years, 4 months ago

Derek Blanton's Annotated Bibliography on "Terrorist"

 

What exactly IS the definition of a terrorist you might say? Well the dictionary defines a terrorist as "a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities". Is that necessarily the only meaning of a terrorist or is that the only name? That is a no. Over the past decade, the word "Terrorist" seems to have lost its meaning. People who were once known as revolutionaries and freedom fighters can now be labeled as a terrorist. It's time to find the true definition of a terrorist.

The Rational Radical web log tries to properly dissect and define the word the label of a Terrorist and separate it from other labels that others have had placed upon them. It defines a Terrorist, as a radical who uses force and violence to purposely hurt innocents simply to achieve a common goal.
