Usage notes
The use of the label "terrorist" is often controversial or subjective, since one person's terrorist may be another's "freedom fighter ", and vice versa depending on somebody's personal ideology or beliefs.
A cynical definition may be that a terrorist is someone who murders or terrorizes more of those for whom the terrorist is fighting, than their supposed enemies.
