Terrorist is a blanket word used against anyone these days. Giving them a more defined name makes the public better informed. Calling all terrorist groups 'al qeada' is also really really misleading. A terrorist is anyone from a hacker to those eco jackasses that torch hummer sales lots to the ira to various whacky religous groups to islamic fundamentalists. The term is too vague imo.
Homicide Bomber(still used by Fox News) is laughable and goes more to show other things about
Faux News than anything else.
