Perhaps you could use 'dispatcher of suicide-murderers', instead.

with the 72 virgins as a motivator, one wonders how many are mainly mass-murder-for-sex killers...

Hello there, Frank, and how are you?

The problem you are addressing with that comment is an old one to me. It's the problem of whether Begin was a terrorist; whether the US decisions that led to the bombing of Dresden and Hiroshima/Nagasaki were terrorist acts; etc. etc. etc.

If you want to clean up all those distinctions in order to save the use of the term "terrorist", be my guest. Though I'll opt out of the conversation. I prefer to simply put it on hold for a while.
