It's actually the federation that behaved as terrorists. The Klingons were protecting their sacred burial ground. They didn't even finish the Discovery off, left it drifting disabled so they could be rescued. Meanwhile the discovery put an IED on one of the dead the Klingons were retrieving to kill everyone on board.

I hope the writers grant the federation more depth than simply being expansionistic warmongers :p

True, I just felt that the show wanted our sympathy to lie with the main character moreso than the Klingons, though I would need to watch more episodes to tell if that was their true intention or if they are trying to build up an "a-ha!" moment where we see that Michelle Yeoh's captain was correct to attempt diplomacy rather than recklessly killing a bunch of Klingons in order to gain their "respect." 

Perhaps it will go the other way. All we saw of the Klingons was merely Federation propaganda. We all know Klingons don't even look like that :p Fear mongering to drum up support for an illegal war to get their hands on Rura Penthe's dilithium crystal mines. Ofcourse all in the name of liberation and spreading human values. At least it will reflect current affairs.

Eh, just go out and explore.
