They hate Western government and culture, that is political in nature. They justify their actions through the Islamic religion. You're mistaking their justification for their motive. Terrorism is defined as the use of violence for political goals. Some religions say you should sacrifice humans, however that is not terrorism because there is no political goal. ISIS' attacks are terrorism because they have a political aim with their attacks.

It is not a mistake, it is simply reality. Motive and justification are aligned; though one may come after the other.
