Not really...
Terrorists attack seemingly indiscriminately, Russia, Israel, the U.S.,
England, France, Spain...literally everywhere!
These people hate everyone. They are not partisans...think about it.
They are mad dogs and deserve to be shot down like the animal they emulate.
The words "terrorist" and "terrorism' have been overused lately, to
first mean, "anybody we disagree with who uses violence", and more
recently, "anyone sufficiently _vehement_ we disagree with" or "anyone
we really hope to discredit" (to the point that environmentalists and
a teachers union have been described as terrorists, as have cybervandals).

Yours for more precise speech,
