Maybe they could call them combatants who target civilians, or combatants who mirder babies and the elderly and rape women.

The British are an odd people. They fight very hard. But then they treat their defeated enemies way too generously.
Napoleon caused misery all across Europe. But after Waterloo, many Brits called him a “troubled genius” who didn’t deserve his exile at St. Helena.
Then came the bloody trenches of WW I. Let the Kaiser be, said many Brits after that war ended. Let bygones be bygones.
Then came the horrors of WW II. Many Nazis were condemned to death, or to long prison terms. Some actually were hanged. But after a time, many Brits said let the rest of them go. Again, let bygones be bygones.
Very odd.
Freedom fighters. In this case, “freedom” means murder, rape, and torture of random innocent civilians. No big deal.

When they go out and slaughter a couple of thousand people over the course of 48 hours, they don’t GAF what anyone calls them. Meanwhile, their victims and those who sympathize with their victims will spend weeks wringing their hands and clamoring about whether they’re called “terrorists,” “militants, “gunmen,” “assailants,” etc.
The neo-nazis appreciate BBC support.
London is full of Mohammedens. They are afraid of offending them.

John Simpson said “calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides”.
