>2) the definition you're using is more narrow than peoples'.

Most people's definition of terrorism is "any violent act committed by a Muslim without clear monetary gain," so this definition is actually much more general.

>"the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims"

War, then?

As you said, though, debating definitions is a waste of time.

Whoops, missed a word: "more narrow than many peoples'".

I disagree with you that "most people" use the definition you claim, but of course neither of us have any data and we both think the debate is silly anyway.
