I think we should add 'new terrorism' under the broad heading of terrorism. It is widely accepted within scholarly and policy circles we are in the midst of confronting something fundamentally different to the terrorisms of old.

The linking of civil disorder and terrorism is tenuous at the least.
Terrorism is only terrorism if committed by a Muslim. Otherwise, it's extremism.
I am surprised that no mention was made in the article of Christopher Hitchens 1986 Harper's Magazine piece, "Wanton Acts of Usage - Terrorism: A cliche in search of a meaning", which made the argument that "'Terrorist' is a convenience word, a junk word,designed to obliterate distinctions". He basically argued, as do many of the other authorities cited in this Misplaced Pages article, that no clear and consistent definition exists for the term, terrorism, and that usage of the term, obscures rather than clarifies discourse. Of course, Hitchens being Hitchens, would later on, especially after 9-11, seem to forget all about what he wrote in 1986 and use the terms, "terrorism" and "terrorists" in exactly the same ways that he had condemned in his 1986 article.
