Abstract

Legally, a terrorist has intended a criminal; but, then, so is an insurgent and, for that matter, everyone who participates in any unlawful, movement even if that be non-violent. In the eyes of the law, they are all criminals, in varying degrees of course, but liable to legal prosecution all the same. There must never be even a semblance of legitimization of terrorism. Terrorism, unlike criminal violence, is ruthlessly brutal and sedition of the highest order. Seen solely in this light, a terrorist is not a criminal in the general sense but a dangerous menace to lawful Government, community, and the existing social order. There is a marked distinction between a terrorist and an ordinary criminal.
