The terrorism is defined as inflicting violence against a civilian population.

Although you should always remember that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

... for all "true believers" in just about everything.  Their major common characteristic is that the only solution they can see to their problem is for the people that disagree with them to be dead & gone.  They see that as the only way they will be safe / happy / be able to live in a "godly" society / ...   That kind of thinking helps people commit the atrocities we see.

You make the assumption, and falsely, that because someone strongly believes in something they can not be at peace while the others who have different beliefs are alive. THIS IS SO WRONG!!

I've had my share of Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door, but NONE have thrown a bomb in my living room when I answered the door.

I think the point that both the Islamic fundamentalists as well as some on the Christian right do not get, is that if you force behavior through terror or legislation, it is not religion at all, just conscription.
