As an example, suppose a Pakistani physician living in America provides funding for terrorist activities "back home". Would that not be terrorism? I think it would. He's be a terrorist supporter or ally, if you want to stretch it a bit, or perhaps with the stretch if he is part of a terrorist organization or participates in the planning of or very specific direct support for terrorist attacks then fine he's a terrorist. But someone in that position is trying to further terrorism. He's not making a mistake (or if he is, if he's giving money to an organization that supports terrorism and he doesn't know, than he's clearly not a terrorist). Bad policy, unless its actually traitorous bad policy (where your not just foolish or ignorant or hard-headed, but rather trying to help the terrorist at the expense of your country), wouldn't make you a terrorist, and only in the most extreme cases would it make you an ally of the terrorist (and then it would be "unwitting ally", and the modifier really changes the concept a lot in this case).
