You quoted a definition, but a definition that has nothing to do with how it is used legally, historically, or socially i.e. useless

I’m sorry but this statement is flat out wrong. Perhaps reading about terrorism will clear this up.

I’d also recommend the US legal definition within federal law.

That's why the meaning of words tends to change over time.

Yes they do, which is why I posted the modern definition and not the original from the French Revolution:

  1. An agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France.

Accusing me of getting "worked up" is a good way to discredit everything I have to say, though. Cute.

My intention was not to discredit you, it was based on your defensive language. You seem to take the disagreement personally.

I’m going to disengage now. As-salamu alaykum.
