This is a very important quotation as it shows the logic of many Islamic terrorists. To them Jihad is not terror regardless of what means are used. If the cause is just, like driving unbelievers from what they call Islamic land, then the violence is Jihad and is not only moral but is obligatory for a good Muslim. However if the cause is not moral—like invading someone else’s land, then the same actions are terrorism. The rest of the world defines terrorism by the means of the struggle—not the righteousness of the cause. Suicide Bombing which kills civilians shopping or at a wedding reception is terrorism whether the political or other end is good or bad. At the same time, members of the Muslim brotherhood often when they are speaking to Westerners or the media say that they are opposed to terrorism. The terrorism they are opposed to does not include to them does not include the terrorism of 9-11, the kidnapping and beheading of journalists, or bombing innocent civilians. That is why they can fund and support Hamas—the Palestinian component of the Muslim Brotherhood and still say they oppose terrorism. The occupation is the major offence they must rectify. The reality is that every group of people currently in the Middle East, is descended from peoples who occupied land by conquest and then were conquered by others. In Christ’s time, for example, Jerusalem and the area population was virtually all Jewish but the Romans had conquered and controlled the land. Some of the Jews became Christians, and they both shared the land because Christians then considered themselves to be a sect of Judaism. Then there were many conquests and re-conquests. The city has changed hands by force 44 different times. The Israelis were the last to capture it, The Jewish people were also amongst the earlier conquests, and the Palestinians argue that they inhabited the land even before Islam. Compared to Jerusalem, the problem of who has the right to the old Cherokee land in Georgia today is simple.
The slogan was made famous by James Larkin, 1875–1947, Irish trade union leader who used it frequently and whose memorial statue in Dublin contains the quotation in French, English and Irish.
This quotation was very important to the issue of Freedom of the Press in America in the early 21st century. Al Jazeera was an independent Qatar News Network founded in 1996 and was heavily viewed throughout the Middle East. They then started an English Language Channel. Despite some very innovative News Reporting and access that other news networks were not able to get, there were many areas and cable networks in the United States (and other countries) that would not broadcast Al Jazeera. Their reason was twofold: First, that the English version was generally very moderate and responsibly designed to create a favorable opinion of the Arab World in the Middle East. However, for the Arabic, original channel, the broadcasts are extremely inflammatory with regard to Islam and the West and the Israeli-Arab Conflict. Second, that key Al Jazeera officials were supporters of terrorism and subtly were advocating terrorism in their broadcasts in English, and overtly in Arabic. These quotations by the Chief Editor, established that he had a strong political point of view and justified and advocated Palestinian terrorism. Most news network chief editors, have political opinions of one kind or another but are careful to keep them private. The fact that Sheikh did not, and supported the deliberate. Intentional killing of innocent women and children caused most American and many other networks to refuse to carry Al Jazeera despite the excellent journalism they had in other areas. Al Jazeera in its Arab version has never reported that the number of Palestinians killed by Israelis is far fewer than other historical occupations of similar length. For terrorist acts, even murder, Israel does not have capital punishment. Over the years, the Jordanians and Syrians have killed many more Palestinians than Israel has in all the occupation. Likewise the PLO, Hamas and other Palestinian organizations have deliberately murdered more Palestinians than the Israelis have inflicted casualties over the years. After the Arabs refused to accept the United Nations 1949 decision to partition Palestine, the Arab nations attacked the Jews with over a dozen Arab Armies. Over the years, Israel has negotiated a peace treaty with Egypt and Jordan, but the Palestinians have always refused to even sit down and negotiate an overall treaty.

The Boxers were a grass roots xenophobic movement devoted to getting the foreign powers out of China by violence.
