Terrorists are bad. They plan things in secret and kill people, sabotage the internet, and steal peoples money via some shaky claim to authority.
If a terrorist says one thing and does another, that's not so bad for a terrorist... they could do worse than lie..
Words alone cannot amount to terrorism, though words can tell of routine terrorist acts, like mass surveillance.
