If the Baader-Meinhof gang shot a policeman or a soldier (in the back or

the stomach) that was regarded as terrorism.

If they *only* shot at policemen or soldiers, then they weren't terrorists in the modern sense, because anyone not a policeman or soldier could feel safe around them. The terror they generate is very limited and targeted. Very different from Al Qaida or the IRA and ETA, whose bombs could go off anywhere.

The Baader-Meinhof gang murdered civilians too. They planted bombs, robbed banks, and among other things also kidnapped Hanns-Martin Schleyer, the chairman of the German Employers' Organization, and later murdered him.

We seem to define terrorism differently, which makes further discussion of the subejct pointless.

Whoa there! I just joined this thread. Those "I'm not gonna talk to you anymore" lines are supposed to be when you're sick of someone. Pulling it on the first post is very bad netiquette.

Sorry - there is absolutely nothing personal about this. I am simply a bit tired in general of discussing terrorism.
