Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war

Summary

This quote highlights the important distinction between terrorism and engaging in a war against terrorism. It emphasizes that indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians is not a justified tactic in the pursuit of combating terrorism. Rather, such actions are regarded as acts of terrorism themselves. In other words, this statement underscores the belief that to truly fight terrorism, it is crucial to avoid actions that cause harm to innocent individuals, and instead focus on targeted strategies aimed at addressing root causes and dismantling terrorist networks.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent.
