[QUOTE=BusterBluth;17410356] Why are they terrorist?[/QUOTE] How they operate. They strike fear into their enemies. Their existence isn't for defense, they exist to destroy the non-Israelis in the region through less than honorable methods, and get land of Israel.

The fact that some people can't accept other people.

A few evil people who are very good at manipulating people. The average person seems to be surprisingly easy to manipulate into whatever form you want them.

Hate.

[QUOTE=Doriol;17391744]Yes, I can say I didn't. I'm not that ignorant. :allears:[/QUOTE] I'm not joking when I say good for you, you are better than 90% of the population, including myself, since I thought of an Arab bomber first. I know it's just a stereotype, and I don't believe it, but it's still been force-fed to me, as it has been to millions of others.

[QUOTE=Hivemind;17428776]A few evil people who are very good at manipulating people.

A terrorist is any person who uses scare tactics and threats of violence to manipulate.
