    What is Politics of Terrorism?...Can recent attacks in Europe or in Asia be linked to Politically motivated acts rather than just being some acts of Fanatic Islamic radicals?

    Terror attacks in Pakistan are heavily-politically motivated. In fact, their ISI conspires with terrorists to further the political agenda. It's also why they decided to hide Osama Bin Laden all those years. Terrorism to the higher ups is about politics. Terrorism committed by the terrorist pawns is about religious extremism and lack of education.

    ISI is in bed with the tribal regions. Tribal regions run Pakistan. Pakistan's government receives US aid. It's a win/win for them. Tribal regions get away with illegal activity, ISI "pretends" to help everyone else, Pakistan gets money

    For certain things in life, those who have lived it first hand, have a lot more experience. If you are a vet, you probably know a lot more the military, and war, than I ever will. If you're a vet thank you for your service, and in my opinion, I'd have to agree with you on the subject.

    In my opinion, fanatic Islamic radicals are almost in a different category from regular terrorists. They "give terrorists a bad name", if that could be said.
    Certain Islamic terrorists are closer to the conventional politically motivated terrorists, like for example the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanese/Syrian Hezbollah. They're a little bit more motivated by nationalism and politics than they are fanatical religion. They could be classified as somewhere in the grey zone between the two.
