Uh ... "individuals suffering from extreme social agitation?" : D

"Freedom-fighters." But if someone or a group is causing organized terror on a community, is the word "terrorist" really offensive?
-
Nope... All of the one's that I know are far worse than just that.
-
im not really too worried about offending terrorist.
-
That dead body over there!

Depending on your perspective 'Freedom Fighter' or 'enemy combatant'

Islamic Terrorists. I know, I know, I am inviting downrates from our Islam brothern.
-
I don't *want* to know a less offensive name. Terrorists are about as offensive as anybody gets, and I see no reason for being polite about them.
-
a terrorist is a person who seeks to change the world by using fear, terror, so i think the word is the best possible way to discribe them. Perhaps you're not talking about the actual terrorists but people associated with them?
-
Hmmm... Mass murderers? No... Kidnappers and killers? No... Chicken-sh*ts and a**holes that send women, children, and animals loaded down with C4 into crowds to die? No... Nope... Can't come up with one.
-
Why would I want to be less offensive to a terrorist? . This sounds like the same BS I put up with when I was in Iraq. The pogues would rant and rave about us using derogatory terms when shooting at the bad guys. What kind of bullshit is that, right? God forbid we offend the guy when we're shooting at him.

Terrorist is the least offensive name I can think of for them. I can think of lots that are more offensive. But the thing is, I'm not so much interested in offending them as hunting them down and making sure they never hurt anybody ever again.
-
Murderers. Lol.
-
The best one I can think of is "freedom fighters". Many terrorists are seen as such by someone, depending who they're targeting. For instance the US called OBL and co. "freedom fighters" as long as they were fighting against the Soviets, even though they were using pretty much the same tactics that they now use against the US (roadside bombs etc). . Other names like "suicide bombers" are inaccurate because not all terrorists are suicide bombers. In fact terrorists don't have to kill anyone at all - there were attempts in the past to target symbolic structures like the statue of liberty. Even that is terrorism.

I don't personally see any terrorists going to go to court over anti-discrimination over someone calling them a terrorist, and not a humanely-challenged individual.lol. It would be a sad world if it did.

Terrorists are terrorists - anyone who disregards the line between civilian and military targets and whose attacks are designed to place fear into the general populace. The problem with the word "terrorist" is when it gets thrown around to include anyone who doesn't fight with a conventional strategy, such as guerrillas. Guerrillas and terrorists actually have similar goals in terms of combat, but slightly different methods in that guerrillas attack military targets instead of civilian ones, because generally guerrillas are supported by the populace and don't seek to alienate them. A nice name for guerrillas would be "freedom fighters" while the word "terrorist" can be used to disparagingly describe them when, really, the title doesn't apply. Let me put it like this - the 9/11 attacks were acts of terrorism, as although the Pentagon was a military target, civilian means were used to attack it and the desired impact was to instill fear in the populace. However, the attack on the USS Cole in 2000 is often called a terrorist attack - same was the Beirut Barracks bombings over a decade prior - but the reality is that they were guerrilla attacks, because the means used were military and the attack was targeted at the military. The only real tactical difference between terrorists and guerrillas are in what they target.

the evil-doers? oops, i guess somebody already used that one!
-
Since terrorists do not find ways to get their points across other than mass murder, destruction and violence, I see no reason to worry about how offensive or non offensive the term which we refer to them is. It offends me the amount of life, property, control and destruction they leave in their trail.
-
Anarchists?
-
The traditional posiname is 'freedom fighters'. Of course, since they aren't really interested in freedom, I'd probably expect 'Society Purification Workers'.
-
If I did (and I don't) I wouldn't tell anybody about it. Now, if I could think of something MORE offensive, that would be great. Something along the lines of batshit crazy religious fanatic. Or bully. Or coward. Or mindlessly violent idiot. Or ultra screwed-up head case. Or agent of the forces of evil. (I'm still working on the list.)

Don't really give a crap what they feel, they are terrorist!

We need a name for them that is more offensive. If you use fear as a means of accomplishing your political goals, you deserve all the condemnation you can get.
-
Dead.
-
How about Moslem, or Irish nationalist, or Basque, or Burmese soldier? Singapore cop?
