Why is terrorism hard to define?

Question

Why is terrorism hard to define?

Answer 1

Terrorism is notoriously hard to define. The phrase "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is probably better known than any particular definition of terrorism. Most people end up taking a similar approach to terrorism as they do to pornography: I cannot define it, but I know it when I see it.  Terrorism, like Propaganda, is a form of persuasive communication. Like propaganda, it is a pejorative term. Some have referred to it as propaganda of the deed. It is hard to define because its definition depends on whether one agrees with the message. If one does, neither propaganda nor terrorism is the term that is normally used to describe such activity.

Answer 2
