Is Islamic Jihad a terrorist group?

[ECH1969]

What about Hamas do you think they are a terrorist group?

1. Anyone who hurts non combattant civilians is a terrorist..... therefore

many of the people in our prison system are terrorists.... and consider this, if all of the oil in the world were in Texas... and if Israel were in Colorado.... would there be Islamic extremists and terrorists??? I think not.

2. you decide..

somebody who walks in to an eatery, made up of jews, christians and muslims, looks around, sits at a table and then presses the button that kills herself and the women, children and men eating lunch...

or somebody who launches a missle not knowing if it will hit a hospital, kindergarden, or somebodys house.

its really that simple

3. they are a Muslim ladies' mosque auxiliary

since they spend most of their time attacking civilians and extorting obedience from the Palestinian population (in return for bennies, kind of like the Mafia), I think they qualify for the name "terrorist". If they were an actual resistance that took military action against military targets, I might change my mind. Instead they implement a police state among the population they claim to champion. It's easy to control the weak. It's hard to actually implement change in the face of those who use strength illegitimately.
