  • Opposition is different from terrorism. Opposition is a political movement. Opposition doesn’t mean to take– armament and kill people and destroy everything. Do you call the people in Los Angeles in the ’90s, do you call them rebels or opposition? What would the British call the rebels less than two years ago in London? Do– did they call them opposition or rebels? Why should we call them opposition? They are rebels. They are not rebels even, they are terror– they are behaving– this opposition, opposing country or government by behaving by barbecuing head, by eating the hearts of your victim? Is that opposition?
