The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see discussion on the talk page.

A terrorist organisation is an organisation that engages in terrorist tactics, they are also (perhaps more neutrally) referred to as militant organisations. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... For historical and popular terms referring to violence (especially against civilians, whether prominent or not) that is insignificant in terms of military tactics but aimed at undermining morale, see Terrorism. ...

The following groups are considered to be terrorist by a significant number of observers, though opinion is not uniform.
At least two features make objective assessment of which organisations are terrorist difficult: The term terrorism is controversial and has many definitions, none of which are universally accepted. ...

1. the definition of terrorism is disputed and
2. the facts about the actions and motives of these groups are disputed.

The cliché, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" has some relevance as, while Terrorism can technically be defined as politically motivated violence against non-combatants, use of the term is uneven and dependent on the observer's political perspective and moral judgement. Use of the term often carries moral weight beyond its technical use. "Militant" is a more neutral term to describe so-called "terrorist" groups. Militant groups themselves rarely claim to be committing terrorism and often justify their acts as defence against state oppression or terrorism by opposing groups. The term terrorism is controversial and has many definitions, none of which are universally accepted. ... Non-combatant is a military and legal term describing civilians not engaged in combat. ... The word militant can refer to any individual engaged in warfare, a fight, combat, or generally serving as a soldier. ...

This list does not include government actions that could be labelled terrorism; instead, see state terrorism. The U.S. State Department maintains a list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, groups that the U.S. government considers terrorist, but these designations are far from universally accepted. State terrorism is a controversial term that is separate from the more common term state sponsored terrorism. ... The United States Department of State, often referred to as the State Department, is the Cabinet-level foreign affairs agency of the United States government, equivalent to foreign ministries in other countries. ...
