How we can define terrorisim?

Physh

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Note: It states the "unlawful" use. This would indicate that actions of a similar nature, perpetrated by a recognized government, do not fall under the category of terrorism.

Terrorism is the act of scaring people for a social or political reason using violence (or threat of violence). A person who uses terrorism is called a terrorist. Sometimes they do the things they say they will do, and sometimes they do not. Terrorists think that if others are afraid of them, they will have more power over other people.

rimrocka

Killing civillians to achieve a political purpose, that is, to co-erce governments into actions they would not otherwise do.

The reason why we dont have an international definition is that the federation of Islamic countries dont want this definition to apply in occupied territories (e.g palestine).

The term "terrorism" comes from the French word terrorisme, which is based on the Latin verb terrere (to cause to tremble), [19] It dates back to 1795 when it was used to describe the actions of the Jacobin Club in their rule of post-Revolutionary France, the so-called "Reign of Terror". Jacobins are rumored to have coined the term "terrorists" to refer to themselves. The English word "terrorism" was popularized in English when it was used by the conservative Edmund Burke, an outspoken opponent of the French Revolution in general, as well as the Terror. Acts described as Jacobin Club "terrorism" were mostly cases of arrest or execution of opponents as a means of coercing compliance in the general public. According to Juegensmeyer, they were public acts of destruction which inflicted a public sense of fear due to the lack of military objectives.
