its funny that it isn't considered terrorism when america or the european countries bomb other countries repeatedly to catch a single person resulting in "collateral damage" or in other words the deaths of several innocent people and the destruction of their homes... well i guess it just depends on what perspective you have

The difference is one of psychology. Criminal intent when the western countries attack a so called single person and inflict civilian casualties it was not their intent to kill civilians. Most often the reason civilians are killed is because the terrorist or terrorists are using them as human shields. Like launching rockets from the roof of a school, how can a western country stop those rockets without hitting the school? Obviously the western country doesn't intend to kill innocent students but the terrorist launching the rockets from its roof knows full well that children are going to die because of his actions.

Extremist groups (Terrorists) on the other hand fully intend to kill civilians. Almost every move they make will kill civilians it isn't simply guerrilla warfare it is terrorism. Terrorist groups feed off of fear. A. they want the people in their country or region to fear them to do this they often brutally crack down on the civilian populace. B. They want the people to hate the Government they are opposed to, in order to do this they purposely ensure civilians get killed.

A terrorist group fully intends to harm innocent civilians. They don't have moral boundaries they will kill anyone and destroy anything to reach their objective. This means men, women and children even if the people are there own supporters. Al Qaida for example has no problems in blowing up a Mosque full of devout Muslims of their exact sect.

Guerrilla warfare is a lot different then terrorism. The goal of guerrilla's is to attack the Government and cripple it. They almost always target Government installations and try to avoid civilian deaths in many cases. Their is a major difference between an armed Guerrilla group and a terrorist organization.

lol dropping bombs bears no "intent to kill civilians"? how so? how can you drop a bomb on an area and not expect to kill people with in its blast radius? i'll tell you how because they do expect civilians to be killed... thats what they call "collateral damage" look it up

"Most often the reason civilians are killed is because the terrorist or terrorists are using them as human shields." i'm sorry but thats bullshit
