I'd be surprised if there weren't other analogues, and it's definitely hard to differentiate between revolutions and terrorist organizations, to the point that it often becomes pointless. But I suppose the one important dividing line would be if the movement has any international status. But then there are Islamic terrorist organizations that don't have any international status, and the idea that Islamic terrorism is all linked is obviously silly. Which is why I generally just say Islamic terrorism when I mean Islamic terrorism. Which is really what we're all talking about.
It's really all just confusing as **** simply because everyone is trying to apply a general term to Islamic terrorism so that "Islam" isn't in the phrase. So I guess I'm doing the same **** that I'm talking about with using "international". Terrorism is Islamic terrorism simply because that's really what we're all really talking about when we say terrorism.
