It's a conflict between the Syrian government forces and several militias of (mostly) Syrians. So it's a civil war.

Yeah, some of the militias aren't interested in democracy, and some are funded by external powers that have various interests in Syria. It's still a civil war.

It is definitely not.

As you can see the prove in my other comments, Free Syrian Army was established by a NATO sponsored Libyan terrorist. As you can see in their videos, these fucking terrorists don't even speak the Syrian dialect of Arabic.

We are talking about a global terrorist organization and huge manipulations made by NATO countries to legalize this terrorism.

Please go to do some research.

At what point does it go from terrorism to a civil war?

I'm not saying syria is or isn't one, but you got me thinking about how a civil war could very well be labeled terrorism and vice versa depending on the spin you wanted to put on it.

Incorrect: this is an external destablisation by NATO, Qatar et al. & a heroic defence by the Syrian people.

Who is training, funding & supporting the death squads in Syria? NATO, under the supervision of Robert Stephen Ford:

Negroponte/Ford were resposible for running the death squads in central America in the 80's & Iraq in 2004 onwards.

If Mexico & Canada were sending snipers to the US & some libertarians joined in - would you call that a civil war?
