So again, I'll ask you.... what should we call these people if not Muslims ?

You call them terrorists without associating them with religion, because if you know anything about religion you'd know that it doesn't promote or justify or even directly cause such actions. If by your definition this is Islamic terrorism, then, by your defitinion, Christian and Jewish terrorism exists too and is just as bad.
Why is it always Islam when it comes to Middle Eastern issues and it's just political instability when it comes to other countries? We hardly go by the Sharia law. You can accuse pseudo-Islam if you consider what's going on in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran, but not when it comes to the rest of its neighbouring countries. It's hardly ever Islam. It's politics, and most of the time reporters abroad seem to name-drop Islam in thre like it has anything to do with the issue. It doesn't. Stop making excuses for things merely because it simplifies the conflict in your head. It's never that simple.

Another by the way, here's Allah saying that He acceps Jews and Christians, and therefore we should tolerate them (I mean, if He does, who the hell are we to dismiss them as sinners?)
Suarah 2:62 says:
"Verily they that believe and those of Jewry and the Christians and those Sabaeans, whoso believes in God and the Last Day, and do what is right, their rewards await them with their Lord, and fear shall not come upon them, neither shall they be grieved."
Further proof of the fact that you are very wrong in your assumption that Islam preaches contempt for non-Muslims. Freedom of religion is emphasized throughout the Koran. You have absolutely NO argument if you claim to know the Koran yet insist that terrorists go by it. They break too many rules that they may as well just consider themselves 'kafirs.'
And Surah 5:21 says this:
"Bear in mind the words of Moses to his people. He said: 'Remember, my people, the favours which Allah has bestowed upon you. He has raised up prophets among you, made you kings, and given you that which He has given to no other nation. Enter, my people, the holy land which Allah has assigned for you."
