Depends on your point of view, doesn't it. From a British point of view, they were very much terrorists. Only history rewrote that as a successful revolution story and thus they were legitimised in hindsight. Look at Northern Ireland and what happens if you don't win that war.

Muslims are the new Jews. History repeating itself is troubling; hopefully the compassionate and Good will triumph over the fear, ignorance and hate spread by so many.
I have to add: What's hilarious (pathetic?) is it's generally the people who believe in Jesus the most that are the ones who would go directly against his teaching of compassion for others. Denying Syrian refugees and spreading hate towards the OVERWHELMINGLY good Muslim people is NOT what Jesus would do.
I don't. I know that the Muslim world as a whole does not support terrorism. But in my opinion they don't do enough to show that they are against it either. They should be the largest contributors to counter islamist extremism imo, but they're not.
"This is no swaggering askari, no Idi Amin Dada, heavyweight boxing champion of the King's African Rifles, nor some wide shouldered, medal-strewn Nigerian general. This is an altogether more dangerous dictator - an intellectual, a spitefull African Robespierre who has outlasted them all." - The Fear: Robert Mugabe and the martyrdom of Zimbabwe, Peter Godwin.
Millions of them still traverse deserts, cross the mediterranean, bribe smugglers or fake passports to get here. Not aware of any exodus going in the other direction. Can't be that bad.
It's not radical islam.
It's fundamentalist Islam.
#NotAllMuslims is an illogical way of thinking, when your community gets killed and raped in their home town by snackbars, and then white liberal communists defend them saying they are the victims, maybe you will understand how you being naive is suicidal.
