Organizations such as the American Revolutionary Sons of Liberty —revered in the Unites States—might have been considered "terrorists" by today's standards, which suggests the standards for applying the label are not consistent.

 Russia, Militant Islam, Conflict - JRL 4-5-05
The Militant Islamic movement in Russia is quickly developing beyond the Chechen separatist movement to include a growing branch of resident Muslims and sympathizers who have taken to political activity under the cover and relative security of Russian citizenship.
The social base for the development of Militant Islam can be found in the consequences of the post-communistic crisis, especially the rupture of social ties and the de facto blockage of channels for social mobility, particularly in the Russian provinces.
Although it is clear that militant Islamists still represent a minority among the vast community of Muslims, the Muslim community in Russia is a substantial 10% of the population and growing steadily in comparison to the decline in births among ethnic Russians.

As such, the list is neither comprehensive nor will it necessarily win wide acceptance outside the U.S. Nevertheless the act of naming names has its uses as long as it survives legal challenge.
