Terrorists have the misguided thought that they are freedom fighters and truly believe in their cause, looking for their place in the afterlife.
I was not necessarily talking about suicide bombers here. More like the guys who take hostages and assassinate and make the bombs and so forth. And who says they are NOT freedom fighters? That IS what they are fighting for, after all, even if we might have different values of freedom. Of course they are not as evil as the Black Ajah, but it was just a comparison.What we've seen of the BA they are searching for personal earthly power and immortality. They are pack of women who would never sacrifice their lives for the cause! The only BA member who is willing to was Verin, and turns out she was sacrificing herself to redeem her soul!
And lots of terrorist aren't running around sacrificing themselves either. Or is Osama Bin Laden not a terrorist now? Home grown American terrorists like McVey are much better analogies to the BA than Muslim terror groups. Meaning the BA are more like a bunch of douche-bags who feel like the establishment is holding them back.
And what do you think terrorists are? They think the Great Satan's establishment is holding back the spread of Dar al-Islam.

The Forsaken are lame ducks. The Dark One is the only real villain in the series.

There's also Fain, Slayer, and a bunch of non-DF's who nevertheless do heaps of evil.

I wonder when Sheriam joined the Blacks, and how much she grew up after.
