During WWII the French resistance was, according to the Nazis, a terrorist group but to the Allies they were freedom fighters.

The Al-Qaeda is different in that its war is waged all over the world and that makes them out and out terrorists.
Whatever the reason, if a group of freedom fighters are killing and injuring innocent people, in pursuit of a political agenda, they are all terrorists.
