How it's used
This term is used in formal news reporting and serious political discussions rather than casual conversation. It carries a heavy, negative weight and is strictly reserved for groups that employ violence against civilians to achieve ideological or political goals. Avoid using it to describe groups you simply dislike or disagree with, as it is a very strong label.
