Then every violent criminal is a terrorist, by that logic.
Terrorism is an attack on a way of life, whether it's ISIS or al-quaeda or the taliban, or closer to home the IRA or PIRA or whoever, the attacks of those terrorist groups are against innocent civilians, in the hope of 'terrorising' them in to changing their ways.

I don't see why everybody's up in arms about what we call them though.
