I am always affected with mixed emotions when a group(s) inclined to terror are overtly declared as terrorist.

This may seem odd, but my rational is that the organization, if not driven underground, may be at least identified, and monitored. Once the terrorist designation is affixed to those inclined to terror everything becomes opaque - everything gets driven underground, especially the money that makes the terror possible - and any and all acts may be rationalized/perpetrated in the name of resisting the repression, and are performed under a guise/desire for free expression. Free expression, however, isn't what they desire, as it is really the freedom to impress their views upon all that they really seek; thus they initiate covert resistance, often in the form of car-bombs - actions designed specifically to do nothing but to murder and terrorize, - with all perpetrators being identified by best guess, or even: "... I don't like that guy, so why don't we just toss him in prison for this event, whether he's culpable or not." With the ultimate danger being that in times of great difficulty - times of geo-political, political, or economic distress, - that they through completely legal means, ascend to power, where they overtly dismantle the purpose, and protections of legitimate democratic government - perhaps that's why firearm ammunition has been unavailable in America for the last year, as we alone have an alternative institution derisively referred to by those who would demand that we perform any act/action commanded by any majority vote, as an: armed populace.

The difficulty that government faces in dealing with terror organizations in the public square is found in issues of "freedom," and thuggery. If not designated as a terrorist organization, the organization is permitted to openly participate in any and all discussions, and events. While this would, for freedom's sake, at first seem to be a good thing what in fact materializes from the terror entity is an organized effort to repress dissenting opinions, and points of view - pretty much what government attempts to do by declaring the terror group as a terror group. Depending upon the organizational strength of the terror organization's repressions and actions, eventually the willingness to use physical force/violence for political means gives rise to either an almost complete muting of dissent, or causes a rise in the use of opposing physical force that results in an ever increasing level of public physical confrontations, arising at any, and all public events - traditionally this factionalization of society has caused the demise of all democracies, as the purpose of government is transformed from: "... to serve, and protect...," into: "... to repress, pursue, persecute, prosecute, and imprison...."

Only those who have lived through it before, can identify it for what it really is: thinly guised authoritarianism - for the only freedom they, in actuality, seek is the freedom for you to see things as they shall tell you to see them.

As has been noted in multiple other places: in these circumstances the best organized invariably always "take-the-day."
