they ARE NOT the same thing, nor are the even remotely close.
if he would've blown up buildings filled with innocent people, no one would walk away from the theater loving the character, and basically you'd have a crappy movie. the only people he killed were those trying to kill him or those who turned him into what he was and killed numerous other innocent people in the process.
furthermore, if terrorists were to go about making their statements in such a way that only symbols were destroyed and not human lives, they might actually gain a following. they don't however, because they (recent terrorists) feel offended that people such as ourselves walk this planet and they want to do what they can to stop it. they don't just hate your way of life, your government, and your religion. They hate YOU.

hold up horsey. i'm saying this cause i've read articles calling this movie a sympathsizer for terrorism. and btw terrorism isnt only flying planes into buildings.
just notice that V is hell bent on getting his revenge no matter what usually and willing to risk everyones lives. no one can stop him, and he brainwashes eevey into seeing his see way. in this sense yes he was a terrorist..but god damn was he a cool one.
but like i said, no one will see it like that becuase you feel he is doing the right thing.
if you know your history you'll know that V pretty much takes the place of a actual historical figure named Guy Fawkes. In 1605 he was catholic who developed a scheme to blow up the Parliament in order to protest against protestant rule of England....do you see the connection? other than the obvious Guy Fawkes mask V wears. again in it's basic element V's historical counterpart was a terrorist.
now don't go getting bent out of shape, I wasn't saying "I love osama bin laden" jesus. he's a prick haha
