I think we should stop calling radical thugs terrorists.  I suspect they feed off that label, especially angry young recruits looking for a home in which to vent their frustrations.  The thought of being a terrorist probably gets them off.

Instead we should label them for what they are, such as a band of unbalanced, egomaniacal, brainwashed cult members and control freaks who lack the courage to play fairly with others in a balanced, civilized society (or add your own derogatory label).

Stop giving them a label they love.
