Mmm.<p>I think what I&#x27;d say about this is that essentially &#x27;Terrorism&#x27; has been defined as some sort of catastrophic instance, of collapse of society, fear of going outside, whatever.<p>But it&#x27;s being applied to relatively trivial crimes (e.g. one soldier was stabbed in the UK, and that becomes &#x27;terrorism&#x27;, when really it&#x27;s just premeditated murder).<p>I agree that there seems to be some sort of campaign to deliberately misuse terminology in this way. I&#x27;m just not sure what we can do to stop it other than to educate people about these &#x27;tricks&#x27;.
