Even a broken clock, or a terrorist is occasionally correct, although in this case I suspect their reasons to be opposed aren't very solid ones. The main reason to be opposed isn't that he has done some great harm to the idea of peace or peaceful relations across the world (which is what I suspect terrorists would allege, as if fighting against them should be some disbarment to the peace prize), but that he hasn't (at least yet) actually achieved anything to make the world or some part of it more peaceful. If stating that is joining the terrorists, then I also join the terrorists in believing that the sun will rise tomorrow, and I join them in wearing clothes for the majority of the day. To legitimately say someone was joining the terrorists here it would have to be for the same reason, and even then it might be argued that the phrase was more inflammatory than reasonable. A peace activist might have the effect of helping a terrorist group or a brutal aggressive dictator, but even when that's the case I would think many of them do not agree with the people they wind up helping, and would not consider themselves to have joined the cause.
