Så här definierar andra terrorism:

• “the deliberate killing of innocent people, at random, to spread fear through a whole population and force the hand of its political leaders” (Michael Walzer, 2002).[18]
• “the organized use of violence to attack non-combatants (‘innocents’ in a special sense) or their property for political purposes” (C. A. J. Coady, 2004).[19]
• “the deliberate use of violence, or threat of its use, against innocent people, with the aim of intimidating some other people into a course of action they otherwise would not take” (Igor Primoratz, 2004).[20][page needed]
• “the use of force or violence or the threat of force or violence to change the behavior of society as a whole through the causation of fear and the targeting of specific parts of society in order to affect the entire society” (Arthur H. Garrison, 2004).[21]
• “The premediated use or threat to use violence by individuals or subnational groups to obtain a political or social objective through the intimidation of a large audience beyond that of the immediate victims” (Todd Sandler, 2010).[22]
• “a doctrine about the presumed effectiveness of a special form or tactic of fear-generating, coercive political violence… [as well as] a conspiratorial practice of calculated, demonstrative, direct violent action without legal or moral restraints, targeting mainly civilians and non-combatants, performed for its propagandistic and psychological effects on various audiences and conflict parties” (Schmid, 2011).

• “En vanlig arbetare som är på väg till jobbet blir inte särskilt glad om han eller hon blir sen för att folk har satt sig på vägen” (Sverigedemokraterna, 2025)
