"Define Terrorism"
If there is anyone on this thread who can define terrorism I know it's not me and I suspect it's not you either, because if you can define it, why ask me?.
"Is Viking raping and pillaging terrorism or economic theft ?"
Or just expansionism. I don't know - what do you think?
"Was William a terrorist at Hastings or not ?"
Well, I guess it depends which side you were on.
"Easy to pick out specific groups but isn't Govts sending out armies to take over territory terrorism or does it just apply to those who fight back."
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. In my post I used the Crusades as an early example of modern terrorism. In that case the Govts (sic) of the then Christian world sent out armies to take over territory from the muslim countries with no declaration of war and no threat from the muslims countries - in my view that was certainly terrorism. Those who fought back against the crusaders were not terrorists - they were just trying to hold onto their homes.
"Was Judean Peoples Front terrorists or splitters ?"
I've never heard of the Judean Peoples Front and I don't believe I know what splitters are. Maybe you could help me out with this one.
