The major political changes of the Renaissance were from the old Feudal System of the Middle Ages into a more flexible and li

Is terrorism ever justified?

Before answering this question, we should ask ourselves our selves a question what is terrorism?
This might create problem, because each person and each government and each religion count something else as a terrorism.

From my point of view this type of resistance is totally unacceptable.
Attack at a peace time on civilians is never justified as it results in deaths of innocent people.
