More and more in the world today, circumstances have brought about changes in how members have used radical protesting. One way used to protest a situation is through terrorism, and the people who exercise violence in the pursuit of what they hold to be just causes are alternately known as terrorists. This movement, although viewed as barbaric, requires a person to view the needs and goals of a particular cause to be greater than that of the well being of others. There are certain characteristic traits that can be found in the majority of terrorism, which can identify a profile of a terrorist 's mind. A terrorist is not just an insane person, but also possibly a person that has been forced either by personal decision or by situations beyond control to choose an
"insane" method to achieve an unachievable goal.
Contrary to popular belief, Ideology is not the only or even the principal reason why individuals join terrorist groups. Unfortunately, an assassin is a terrorist simply because the main objective is to provide a sense. All terrorists and assassins fundamentally see themselves as altruists, incontestably believing that they are serving a “good” cause designed to achieve a greater good for a wider constituency whether real or imagined which the terrorist and his organization or cell purport to represent. Indeed, it is precisely this sense of self-righteous commitment and self-sacrifice that that draws people into terrorist or assassins groups. It all helps them justify the violence they commit. It gives them collective meaning and cumulative power.
The terrorist virtually always sees himself or herself as a reluctant warrior, cast
