#2: Initial revision
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. In other words, your main character _probably_ doesn't see _himself_ as a terrorist, so a first-person or close third-person story focusing on that character can present something more nuanced than "terrorist, ick". I've read stories where _I_ know the main character is reprehensible in some way -- terrorist, serial killer, torturer -- but the story is still interesting. Not all fiction requires that the reader see himself in the main character.
