Terrorism

How is religion (of any sort, really) not “terrorism”?

Main Entry:

ter·ror·ism

Pronunciation:

\ˈter-ər-ˌi-zəm\

Function: noun

Date: 1795

: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion

Everything is based on changing the behavior of a large group of people due to fear of an almighty being or organization. I guess government is, as well, if we’re pointing fingers with this definition. Maybe humans run on terror? How sad is that?
