Terrorism, as a division of such hostile radical movements, mostly uses the same concept in their core ideology. The modern implications of terms “terrorism” and “terrorist” are in fact relatively new. Take the case of The Jacobins, a democratic club established in Paris in 1789, as an example. Apparently, they had on occasions used these terms when referring to themselves in speeches or literatures, interestingly, in a positive sense, as if they were giving themselves compliments. Within the next decade, the term of terrorism starts to carry more negative sense, when used by British literatures to refer to the period of French Revelation broadly speaking between March 1793 and July 1794. In those contexts, it was more or less a synonym for “region of terror”, and a terrorist was anyone who attempted to further his/her views due to a corrective intimidation (Laqueur, 1977).
