This can be traced to a world view which asserts that certain ideological and religious goals justify, indeed demand, the shedding of all moral inhibitions.|[[Benjamin Netanyahu]]}}'''Terrorism''', in its broaded sense, is the unlawful use of intimidation or violence directed towards civilians to provoke a state of terror, mostly with the intention to achieve political or religious aims. Common political aims include racism, political motivations, rebellion against the government, religious extremism, and [[homophobia]].
'''Terrorism '''is the unlawful use of intimidation or violence directed towards civilians. Acts of terrorism are often exacted with political motivations. Common political aims include racism, political motivations, rebellion against the government, religious extremism, and [[homophobia]].


The term '''''terrorism''''' was first coined in the 1790s to refer to the terror caused by the [[W:French Revolution|French Revolution]] by the revolutionaries against their opponents. The Jacobin party of [[Maximilien Robespierre]] carried out a Reign of Terror involving mass executions by the guillotine. Since the 20th century, the term has been applied most frequently to violence aimed, either directly or indirectly, at governments or people in an effort to influence policy or topple an existing regime, rather than violence by a state against its citizens.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/terrorism Terrorism | Definition, History & Facts - www.britannica.com.
