    While I agree with your point that term terrorist is overused, but calling them rebel isn’t any better, we can’t be picking better words that suggest killing random civilians is justified because it’s a rebellion.

      In that case basically all groups currently engaged in armed conflict are terrorists and we still need words to distinguish between them.
