When the deposed government of a state follows the recognised judiciary body of the state to mediate its actions, its not terrorism. The Taliban was elected, however they turned out. Karzai was installed, but even he subordinates to the same jirga and cannot deny the legality of their process.
The Talibans actions are officially sanctioned because they are legal by Afghan laws. You understand now, what is going on there?
The Taliban were never elected! As a matter of fact someone who was in the country for five years before the Taliban entered Kabul and during the first few months they were there never spoke about an 'election'. They took the country:
"The victory of the mujahedeen only led to a new round of fighting as they split along ethnic, clan and religious lines. In the civil war that followed, the mostly Pashtun Taliban emerged as a potent force. Made up largely of Afghan refugees educated at Islamic schools (madrassas) in Pakistan, they captured the southern city of Kandahar in 1994 and seized Kabul in 1996. The Taliban disbanded the militias and brought improved security to the country.
The initial welcome for the Taliban soon dissipated when it used repressive measures to impose a strict Islamic code. It committed atrocities against women and girls, as well as against minority populations, particularly the Shi’a Hazaras. The Taliban also allowed Osama bin Laden, a Saudi dissident who had fought with the mujahedeen, to set up bases for his al‑Qaeda group. In 1998, after al-Qaeda’s bombing of the US embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, the United States launched a cruise missile attack on one of its bases in Afghanistan. After the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the United States and the anti‑Taliban Northern Alliance (NA) launched a military campaign against the Taliban. The Taliban quickly disintegrated, and in November the NA assumed control."

There was no such thing as a Taliban until the Afghanistan’s civil war in the wake of Soviet troops’ withdrawal in 1989, after a decade-long occupation. But by the time their last troops withdrew in February 1989, they’d left a nation in social and economic shards, 1.5 million dead, millions of refugees and orphans in Iran and Pakistan, and gaping political vacuum that warlords attempted to fill. Afghan mujahideen warlords replaced their war with the Soviets with a civil war.

The Taliban are one of the mujahideen ("holy warriors" or "freedom fighters") groups that formed during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979-89). After the withdrawal of Soviet forces, the Soviet-backed government lost ground to the mujahideen. In 1992, Kabul was captured and an alliance of mujahideen set up a new government with Burhanuddin Rabbani as interim president. However, the various factions were unable to cooperate and fell to fighting each other. Afghanistan was reduced to a collection of territories held by competing warlords.
Groups of taliban ("religious students") were loosely organized on a regional basis during the occupation and civil war. Although they represented a potentially huge force, they didn't emerge as a united entity until the taliban of Kandaharmade their move in 1994. In late 1994, a group of well-trained taliban were chosen by Pakistan to protect a convoy trying to open a trade route from Pakistan to Central Asia. They proved an able force, fighting off rival mujahideen and warlords. The taliban then went on to take the city of Kandahar, beginning a surprising advance that ended with their capture of Kabul in September 1996.

Didn't want you to walk away clueless.
Whatever made you think they were democratic enough to set up elections?
