What is Terrorism?
Yes, I agree with the post below. I agree with the post below because first there is no standard definition of terrorist. However, we can identify that one is a terrorist by the way they carry out their attacks and the targeted group of people. In many cases, terrorist always targets the American people because they believe that the United States is oppressing them. In this case, Aafia Siddiqui can be considered as a terrorist because of her actions. First, she was convicted because she attempted to kill Americans. This means that she only targeted the American people. She bought body armor, military books and nights google online. She did not want to make a physical purchase because her intentions would have been discovered and why should a harmless human being buy and body armor, night goggles, and have a military book. Apart from this Aafia Siddiqui was caught using websites that teach people on how to assemble explosives. She wanted to make the explosive and use it to kill many Americans. She qualifies to be a terrorist because other terrorist groups are willing to trade prisoners of their own so that she may be released. This qualifies to make her be considered as a terrorist because the terrorist groups cannot be able to trade their prisoners for a person who has no value to them. From the considerations above, I would consider Aafia Siddiqui to be a terrorist.
One weakness of the reasoning of the post is that Aafia Siddiqui was convicted for firing a weapon at the American people and when the weapon was checked, there was no evidence that the firearm belonged to Aafia Siddiqui.

One strength of the reasoning of the paper is that a terrorist group was willing to trade their prisoners for the release of Aafia Siddiqui. This showed that she was a member of the terrorist group.
