Terrorism in the modern sense_[1]_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism#_note-0) is _violence_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence) or other
harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians for political or
other
ideological goals._[2]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism#_note-1) Most
_definitions of terrorism_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition_of_terrorism) include only those acts
which are intended to create fear or "terror",
are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and
deliberately target or utterly disregard the safety of _non-combatants_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-combatants) . Many definitions also include
only
acts of _unlawful_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful) violence.
As a form of _unconventional warfare_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_warfare) , terrorism is sometimes
used when attempting to force
political change by convincing a government or population to agree to demands
to
avoid future harm or fear of harm, destabilizing an existing government,
motivating a disgruntled _population_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residents)
to
join an _uprising_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebellion) , escalating a
conflict in the hopes of disrupting the _status quo_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_quo) , expressing a grievance, or drawing
attention to a cause.
Terrorism has been used by a broad array of political organizations in
furthering their objectives; both right-wing and left-wing political parties,
_nationalistic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism) , and religious
groups,
revolutionaries and ruling governments._[3]_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism#_note-britannica) The presence of
non-state actors in widespread
armed conflict has created controversy regarding the application of the _laws
of
war_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_war)
