I think the term "terrorist" is quite relative and has really lost its meaning after we unjustifiably invaded Iraq based on lies.

To proceed in a positive fashion in this world, these types of labels must be dropped and diplomacy must be pursued.

Otherwise, it's chaos and WWIII on the horizon.

When we start dealing with people justly, we will start getting some respect back from the world.
