I look at it a little differently.  Terrorism in my mind is committing horrible acts for the purpose of instilling fear and otherwise causing disruption to a people's way of life.  Terrorism is bombing airplanes in order to get people to refrain from flying; bombng trains to get people to stay off of them, beheading people to provide a multiplier to their power and influence.

 

Of course terrorism, like just about anything, can be overplayed and result, not in imposing ones will on the terrorized, but solidifying the resolve of those terrorized to do whatever necessary to rid themselves of the terrorists.  It is kind of like the bully picking on the little quiet kid on the playground.  Push too far and the kid sees he has nothing to lose and turns aound and whales the living chit out of the bully.

 

I predict that ISIS will meet the sme fate as the bully, but not yet.  It will take another "up close and personal" catastrophic event to push us over that cliff.
