When combatants don't wear uniforms, use civilians as meat shields and civilian infrastructure as bases from which to conduct military operations (sometimes coercing or killing the civilians who own said infrastructure), calling them terrorists doesn't strike me as strange or self-contradictory, no. Terrorists turn civilian areas into battlefields. That's kind of a large part of the idea.
