OK, first of all, I tried to make this as unbiased as possible, based on books I read:
Sadly enough, since terrorism mostly occurs in undeveloped or developing Muslim nations where most people are illiterate, some people a) want to spread fear to halt development and force the country's budget to focus on defense only b) suffer and want to commit suicide AND make other people (i.e people who's family members get killed) suffer c) because they have wrongly interpreted their religion and in their efforts to become a martyr think if they can knock off a couple of hundred people they did the right thing. (By the way, you CANNOT find this teaching in Islam, killing your own people is a straight one-way ticket to Hell, and a martyr is someone who dies in a war.)
Now, that's for the most part. However, a terrorist(Yes, this unbiased no matter how biased it seems) can be someone who some countries (again, I am not pointing fingers so as not to spread hate) get to bomb some place so they can claim to be 'anti-terrorists' and stuff their troops into that country. This has happened in Iraq especially. Yes, now the country I'm talking about is obvious.
No general group is the terrorist. What MsDink said: Blame the Muslims for what the Muslims do. Blame the Americans for what the Americans do -- that's a fairer comment than most, but I still don't wholly agree with it. Blame the individual for what the individual does. If an Israeli military man kills a Palestinian, or a 'Muslim' terrorist kills an American, or if, as Ramon Davis did, an American kills a Pakistani, it's not some Israeli, Pakistani or American child's fault, or any other person who didn't do or support it, for that matter.
