Comments on: One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, right? What about home-grown (non-islamic) terrorists?

It’s all a matter of whether or not you agree with their cause for which the person is fighting.

Some consider ELF – the Earth Liberation Front – to be terrorists, because they destroy property, burn buildings and have had some people die in the process. Supporters of their cause claim that they are freedom fighters and the only ones in the country that are truly defending our environment. It’s all a matter of agreement.

Many considered Tim McVeigh to be a terrorist – but some considered him to be a freedom fighter that was battling an oppressive regime.

Your question really can’t be answered, as it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not the person’s cause is "just".

I disagree with your premise. I cannot define anyone as a "freedom fighter" who is opposed to freedom. *

Most people fighting against a democratic government would be classified as an enemy of democracy.
EDIT: ergo, not a freedom fighter.
