I guess it dependss on what the definition of the word is is.

I believe the intent, no I'm not Islamic, but still the intent from back during the founding of Islam 672 CE (common era) by Mohammad was the basis of the following verse in the Quran .

008.012 Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you:
give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers:
smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
Thus the intent was not necessarily along the lines of what terrorism is today; directly related to what I consider a potential bastardization of the original intent of a religious ideology.
