Most of the groups mentioned used violence primarily against the state or states they were in conflict with. In most cases, those states were overtly or covertly far more violent than these groups were.
In most places in the world, state violence, whether by the local state apparatus or by imperialist attackers and occupiers, is far greater than anti-state violence.
Apparently, what the imperialist police agency Europol is giving here as its main example of "left-wing" or "anarchist" "terrorism" isn't "terrorism" at all, but an attack, in which nobody was injured, on the repressive apparatus -- in this case, courts -- of the capitalist state. In other words, it was, if not a false-flag operation, an act of urban guerrilla warfare, as was the killing in 1975 of Richard Welch, an official of a genuine terrorist organization, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and the attempted attack on the U.S. Embassy in Athens in 2007.
Ahmadinejad is judged “crazy”' the same way Aristide was judged crazy by imperialist mouthpieces almost 20 years ago when he was first overthrown by a U.S.-backed coup.
Both of them suffer from a belief in a mythical supreme being but are otherwise quite sane.
If "the world" refers to the people and not the ruling classes of the countries of Planet Earth, then I think that the world is much more afraid of, firstly, Israel and its nukes and, running a close second, the U.S. and its weapons of all kinds than it is afraid of Iran's present or Saddam's past possible nukes. In fact, as Guardian Middle East editor Ian Black wrote in WikiLeaks cables: Arab media hold back on revelations about their leaders
It is true of course that Arab governments enjoy little popular support and that Arab public opinion tends to favour a strong Iran, even a nuclear-armed Iran, as a counterweight to Israel and to US hegemony.
