Salaam Alaikum!
I would like to toot my horn if I may.
Terrorism is a nihilistic approach/response to the dynamic and changing world. The overall objective is to send a chilling blade through the conscious of the enemy camp while advancing some submarine agenda. Hence, terror can be carried out through the conscious: intellectual terrorism (i.e. labeling someone a racist simply to smear their reputation). Sadly, such happend here recently.
I would also like to concede that terrorism is by no means confined to the Islamic world. Prior to 9/11, terrorism was practiced to science in South America unabated. If terror is our antithesis, and is to be combated, we must shake loose the insular belief that terrorism is essentially Islamic, or isolated in the Islamic world.
