Almost everything you said is incorrect. "Terrorism is a phenomena that is internal to countries" - makes no sense since much of terrorism is cross-border (India hit from Pakastan, etc).
"terrorism occurs where people have been suppressed by a regime" - nonsense - Terrorism today is 99.9% by people who have one particular religious/political ideology - they are Muslims that believe that Allah will reward them for their fight against the infidels.
"...and want their freedom back" Nonsense! It has nothing whatever to do with freedom - they want everyone to be the "slave of Allah" like themselves, or dead!
"They are not well armed" - ignorant! Millions are pouring into many Muslim "charities" that support the Jihad (a basic requirement of all Muslims), and Iran is sending sophisticated weapons to Iraq...
"or have large numbers of forces at their disposal" - also nonsense. These terrorists are not the underdogs you think they are.
"Generally only small numbers of people are killed by terrorism" - well just 10,500+ since 9/11... no big deal right. You won't care if they kill you then?
"Terrorism is probably something that will emerge in America in the next few years as/if the government becomes more suppressive" - now you show yourself to be a nut. Not one American citizen has been denied their rights, and the vast majority of Americans are happy being protected.
"If I was American or British right now, I would be very concerned." - is that a threat?
Engineers are can-do people. They want to "make it happen". So what do they do when the very core of their religion is Jihad, and not only that - it is a requirement. There are countless references, here's just a couple:
9:38 "O, believers, what possessed you that when it was said, "March forth in Allah's cause [Jihad]," you clung heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the next? Little is the comfort of this life compared to the one that is to come. Unless you march forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and He will put another in your place. You will not harm Him at all, for Allah has power over everything."
9:44 "Those who believe in Allah and in the Last Day do not ask for exemption from fighting with their wealth and their lives. Allah knows those who fear him."
So what do engineers do... they "make it happen" by participating.
