One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 70,s and 80's. The distinction between the 2 depended on which street you lived on and which street they lived on. Usually they were no more than a stones throw from one another.
- tptacek 12y agoWell, one axis on which we can evaluate this issue: is the group in question (a) fighting for freedom or (b) fighting to prevent women from seeing doctors or driving cars? If (b), we can comfortably assume: "not freedom fighters".
- celticninja 12y agoYour definition of freedom differs from theirs. They belive in the freedom to follow their religion as they belive it should be followed. Their supporters believe in the same freedom. Your definition of freedom (and indeed mine) is very different. But you would be foolish to think that they thought of themselves as the bad guys and that they had no support amongst the local populace. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ToKcmnrE5oY
