It probably would be best but it's hardly practical since you're usually
opressed by a superiour force - otherwise you wouldn't be opressed.

Who are the opressors anyway?  They army?  The government?  The people
who voted the government in?

They do.

He's widley denounced by the Muslims as mentioned in the article.  You
seem to be suggesting that his view is that of Muslim leaders in general
where in reality he's an outcast.

What if your terrorist has had his/her children killed by opressors who
are too well armed to act against directly.  Or, they love their
children so much that they are willing to do these things in order to
protect them from opressors?

That's why you usually get terrorisim - the terrorists or their culture
has been terrorised in some way by a superiour force.

Cheers
