I normally don't like making up my own definitions for terms, but I don't think any person or group should be classified as "terrorists" unless there is the use of violence or destruction of property - or at least the threat of violence or destruction of property - in order to achieve some social, political or economic goal. If we don't do this, then even political organizations could be considered "terrorist" since many of them use fear of a possible law/policy to gain new members and/or encourage current members to get politically active.
