And, of course, we can always harvest the limbs of death row convicts. That way we eat without killing, if that is one's concern.
These proposals are becoming not so modest, I fear.

Perhaps only the rump, one hump at a time, as Candide was advised:

"Cut off only one of the buttocks of
each of those ladies,' said he, 'and you will
fare extremely well; if you are under the
necessity of having recourse to the same
expedient again, you will find the like supply
a few days hence. Heaven will approve of
so charitable an action. . ."
Chapter 19

The time has come

To speak of many things
Of ships and shoes
And sealing wax
Of cabbages and Kings . . .

The discussion here isn't over whether you call something evil or not, it's over whether something is inherently 'evil'.

We all know that you can call something evil. And I for one think that terrorism and cannibalism are pretty awful things. I just don't call them evil because evil to me implies some type of supernatural inherent quality to things, while it's perfectly obvious that 'evil' is subjective, not inherent.

Their entire worldview depends on denying evil.

Only the concept of inherent evil. Whereas your entire world view seems to revolve around the assumption of inherent evil.

True, I believe there are absolutes-- right and wrong.

Is believing in absolutes wrong?

When would flying passenger airplanes into buildings ever be right?

If it's always wrong, isn't that the same as stating an absolute?

Real Life asks: "When would flying passenger airplanes into buildings ever be right?"
To me it will always be wrong. To Islamists it will always be right."

Such Islamists would agree with real life that objective good and evil exist, and they would point him as an example of the evil that the good martyrs were trying to eliminate.

It seems we are getting fall out from the "moral objectivity" thread.

IMO there is no such thing as "objectivity" moral or otherwise.
I think in matters of religion we can only talk about lack of consenus. In other words if the "rationality" of any particular religion conflicts with the interests and views of the majority then it is potentially "evil".
The argument by religionists that the majority is "misguided" and that their"true" interests lie in "the afterlife" is the clear source of such "evil".
