Terrorism Defined
"Fuzzy and ideological definitions of terrorism just make it easier to kill people.
"When you know your actions will kill innocent noncombatants, that’s terrorism. And it must be clearly named as unacceptable-no matter who does it (individuals, groups, or states), whatever the weapons, the expressed intentions, or political justifications.
"Deliberately taking the lives of innocent civilians simple must be morally condemned. That’s a clear definition of terrorism and a beginning of resistance to it.”
- Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics and one of many Evangelical Christian leaders who met with Geo. W. Bush prior to the Iraq war in an effort to talk him out of it.
