No, but close - it is usually the people who don't believe that the state has a monopoly on violence are called "terrorists" by the state.

Example: Even though Israelis have terrorized Palestinians, killed thousands of civilians, stolen land, bulldozed homes with residents in them and built settlements on them they are not called terrorists. Only those who resist this oppression are.
