Its made very clear later in the series that Kira considered civilian targets acceptable. Paraphrased from her own words "If you aren't with the resistance you are with the occupation."
DS9 could have never gotten away with its nuanced portrayal of the terrorism/freedom fighter debate post 9/11, but its more relevant today then it ever has been.
Sorry, I interpreted your first comment for some reason as saying that Kira did not target civilians and blow stuff up, and so she wouldn't be considered a terrorist by today's standards. Yes I 100% agree she would, and she would be demonized as much as the Palestinian resistance is today.
