We must fight it together, with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights, or are used as an excuse for others to do so. — Anna Lindh

In the Oxford dictionary, terrorism is defined as “The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims”. This is a wide definition of terrorism and does not allow any justification.

However, terrorism is said to be a form of crime that runs counter to all morality and so undermines the foundations of civilization. Another tactic generating fear is the abduction and assassination of heads of state and members of governments in order to make others afraid of taking positions of leadership and so to spread a sense of insecurity. In my opinion, terrorism is all actions intended to establish that the interests of one or group of persons are more important than those of other people. With my definition, nobody even government can violate the human rights of other human beings by making laws that discriminate against a minority since such laws can cause violence and terrorism.

However, terrorism is deadly. There is also the problem of distinguishing between terrorists and freedom fighters. Some people justify terrorism by saying that it can help people overcome their human rights problems but we need to account for other people‟s human rights too. I think that terrorism is wrong because it violates human rights, it uses people for its means and above all it kills innocent people.

I agree with Anna Lindh. Terrorism can be justified. Even though, there may be some decent reasons to terrorise, the actions of terrorism are not acceptable. Terrorism will never be justified as killing will never be justified even if it‟s out of self-defence. I believe there is always another answer.
