Terrorism is terrorism. Period.

Reader comment on item: [Beslan Atrocity:] They're Terrorists - Not Activists

Mr.Pipes wrote another excellent article,where he made quite clear that world media isn't doing its job properly, in this very
relevant case, by replacing the correct term, terrorism,with less than adequate ones. Here in Brazil,the ludicrous term "militants" is in
vogue, unfortunately due to news agencies such as AFP, that are just making the heinous acts made by Hamas and other Muslim
terrorists, justifiable. Is Osama Bin Laden a "militant"?
