Those who fight against freedom and liberty are in this case radical reptiles. Their minds have been skewed until they are no longer human. They slaughter innocent victims and then hide under a rock. Calling them terrorist gives them form and substance. The use of "ian" or "ist " means follower of. The use of "ism" indicates a belief system. Using these words puts a face on the enemy.
