Good question, cuz this stuff is relative. The British called the revolutionary soldiers cowards for hiding in fields. We call them heroes, because we say we were fighting for a good cause.
Modern terrorists feel the same way. They're doing what they must do in order to win against a more organized, powerful (and in their opinion, oppressive) military force.
In any event, sacrificing your life for a cause you believe in takes courage, no matter what.
The answer depends on what side you're on.

A terrorist is not courageous. While sacrifice for a cause that you feel just is brave, the indiscriminate killing of innocents can have no justifcation. To relate to current events, the jihadist (which are nothing more than harabi) try to justify their fight as the work of Allah (akbar) which is nonsense. This is the God of Abraham (Ibrahim)and could never appreciate this horror.
If someone feels another is his enemy, and he wishes to martyr himself then he should kill his enemy, not just a mass and hope he gets a few that were targets. These bus and car bombs are asinine and an afront to God. The perpetrators are cowards, weaklings and harabi. Read the Quran and shave the beard of anyman preaching sharia to the ignorant.

terrorists, like priests are made not born. Therefore a certain amount of 'preaching' is involved in each. Terrorists kill and priests forgive. Terrorists are lied to from day one. The propaganda that we are the enemy. So, if one is programmed to do an act for their country, that sounds like any soldier. I'd say they are courageous killers who kill for all the wrong reasons.

What's the difference between a terrorist and a patriot?
A loser and a winner.
So if the terrorist is on your side he's a courageous person, and if he's not on your side he's a nut and a coward.
This is an example of 'Historical Relativism'.
