Indisguise, there are two terms in political science; Terrorist and Revolutionary. Average people get confused with this term and can not differentiate one with another , I felt you are one of those. Maoist are not terrorist in any sense. I agree they have done some mistakes in last 12 years time, but their movement is political. If you look histry of any country, revolution is not that far off what Maoist are doing in Nepal. Are you interested for a clean discussion?
