Everytime the Terrorist Act 2005 comes up in conversation thats what people seem to automatically think of, and completely forget or ignore the fact that ordinary protesters can be held under this act, as well as members of organisations such as PETA being tried under it.

Why are people so small minded about the definition of a terrorist? It really annoys me that Islam is the primary association with the word terrorist, and I dont really think its fair at all
How can members of PETA be classed as terrorists?
