Anyway, my point is that I cringe when I see the term Al-Qaeda being

I understand your criticism and agree with you, but what do you call
the vaguely understood but nonetheless real phenomenon that leftists
have been calling Al Qaeda?  We need some term here, so that we can
distinguish it from Hizbullah, Hamas, and the like.

Sectarian terrorists, maybe?
