Quick Hits | Top 10 Worst Terrorist Group Names

February 27, 2021 • Phil Gurski

No, I am not at all dismissing the seriousness of terrorism or the pain and suffering they cause but sometimes laughter (and satire) are indeed the 'best medicine'.

With that in mind, I'd like to present my Top Ten Worst Terrorist Group names. I came up with the list by thinking of all the groups I have come across over the years as well as by looking at 'listed terrorist entities' concocted by various governments (Finally!
