I think this demonstrates that no matter who is in charge of the definition of "terrorism", "terrorism" just means "The Bad Guys", except when Sen. Lindsey Graham uses it, and then it means "The Supervillians!".
I'm guessing that the Russian government doesn't like Witnesses because of either than anti-war attitude, or the won't-salute-the-flag attitude. Those are the aspects that usually put a bur under government's saddles. In any case, ordinary Witness practice might be irritating, but it's not violent. The lack of violence prevents the usual definition of "terrorism" from applying.
