I'm glad you think they're terrorist because Indian media at the time thought so and were partially correct to do so.
There are many different definitions of terrorism because its a politcised word, but the one definition MSM generally go by and use is this:
"Terrorism is a term used in its broadest sense to describe the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim. It is used in this regard primarily to refer to violence against civilians or non-combatants." Wikipedia
Now in the Amarnath attack today, there was no intentional indiscriminate violence against civilians or non-combatants because it has been widely accepted they weren't the targets by the vast majority of global media
In the Taliban attacks, the western media is also technically correct as the institution they attacked was an army-run school, but they Intentionally indiscriminately killed non-combatants and they were definitely widely accepted to be Pakistani-based Taliban. So it was also terrorism as well, which CNN and NYT reported:
NYT:

"With its chilling echoes of a school in Beslan, Russia, where 186 children were massacred in 2004, the terrorist attack in Peshawar traumatized a scarred city that has suffered intense Taliban violence since the insurgency erupted seven years ago."

You've turned this into "my terrorist attack vs your terrorist attack", it's quite silly and puerile. Loss of innocent life is serious business but the OP was using this attack as a premise to demonise Kashmiri militants who do not attack non-combatants in general, all militant groups in Kashmir that I know of adhere to this principle. You've gone and compared them with a brutal Taliban who deliberately massacred innocent children. One attack was deliberately targeting innocent civilians and the other wasn't, that's the only distinction you needed to make before posting this sick comparison.
You've got me completely wrong, I'm not going at lengths to obtain the facts so that I can boast about it or feel good about myself, it's to shake the Indian posters in here from their hysteria in the hope they cease continuing on in the cycle of violence. OP has done the opposite.
I've said it before, I abhor ALL loss of life in Kashmir, even that of the soldiers of both Pakistan and India because they're soldiers obeying orders after all. I blame the Indian government for its stance on Kashmir and of the leaders who are okay to send soldiers to kill and be killed. I've even pondered the idea of Kashmiris remaining with India if it means peace in the region, but India has to reconcile with the Kashmiris and it has long way to go to because of the damage that they've caused and lives they've taken. The ball has been in India's court for a while now, they can sit with Pakistan tomorrow and end this, they choose not to.
