We need a new name for these terrorists

This somewhat laboured and nitpicky article explains why we shouldn’t use terminology that associates terrorism with Islam. The ideology that motivates terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, Al-Shabab, the Taleban and Boko Haram is sometimes called radical Islam, extremist Islam, fundamentalist Islam or jihadism.  The author claims that all of these terms are inaccurate and misleading. The terms that incorporate the word “Islam” also give the ideology prestige among Muslims and create Islamophobia among non-Muslims.  

Nowhere in the article does the writer suggest an appropriate name for this ideology. Since it originated with the Muslim thinker Sayyid Qutb, we could call it Qutbism, but that might be a little hard for some people to pronounce. Besides that, most people don’t even know who Sayyid Qutb was. So, since we are told that most mainstream Muslim clerics repudiate this ideology, why not call it pseudo-Islam? Rogue Islam is also a possibility, but pseudo-Islam sounds more formal. We could then refer to the people who embrace it as pseudo-Islamist terrorists.
