From season three onwards, Morgana reminded me of a religious terrorist. Even though she claimed to protect her people, her fellow magic users and sorcerers, she actually didn't really didn't care. This was evident when she also tortured and killed those who either practiced magic or were born with it. So it wasn't about her religion and kind but basically only about her own goals: revenge and power.

Morgause brainwashing her could be an indicator for creating a terrorist, just like it happens in real life when normal people give up everything in order to join a movement and kill and terrorize others. Alas, the brainwashing wasn't clearly stated out. We know that Morgause influenced and fomented her, but we don't know what else happend that could prove a clear brainwashing in the well-known sense.

If Morgana was supposed to be a metaphorical example of a created terrorist, influenced and brainwashed by others until she lost her former personality and became a cruel puppet on a string, the show missed the most important parts to elucidate this. Until the very end of the show we were supposed to believe that Morgana turned evil because of Uther, Arthur, Merlin, Gaius, Gwen and pretty much everyone who lived in Camelot.
