Sure, let's break it down.
Here is the definition of terrorism that you posted.
Would you agree from that definition that the litmus test to determine if an act counts as terrorism has two parts?
Part one being that it must be an act of violence (in this conversation/context 'Violence' includes damage of property)
Part two is that it must have an ideological component. For example, a bar-fight, or mailbox baseball would not qualify as terrorism.
Do you agree that my understanding of the posted definition of terrorism is correct?
So you understand that second component was missing from your previous statement?
We'll get there. Do you agree that my understanding of the supplied definition of terrorism is correct?
