If you're creating fear you've terrorized. Gangs terrorize, drug dealers terrorize, men and women terrorize their exes, Hell's Angels terrorize... call it what it is and stop trying to sugar coat it just because it wasn't a Muslim.
Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful mindfuck. It transfixes it's host with the terror of inconvenient truth .. the brain becomes motionless .. and all avenues to critical thought are blocked.
Sadly, this describes you more and more.....you even question the dictionary because it don't agree with your misconceptions........
