"Violence motivated by political goals is terrorism."
You do realize that legislators, and some voters, authorize, and police and soldiers perform, violence motivated by political goals?
It is part of the definition of the state. I am an anarchist and pacifist, I consider the state a terrorist institution, but I know that some people are using a double standard, e.g. approving lawful violence (the rulers' violence) while condemning unlawful violence (anybody else's violence).
