It's mostly driven by fear based emotional responses rather than logic, the terrorists have successfully hijacked their amygdalas[1], a classic social engineering technique.
When a target cannot be directly and effectively neutralized, scare tactics are used to make the target compromise themselves.
"As for us, we behave like a herd of deer. When they flee from the huntsman's feathers in affright, which way do they turn? What haven of safety do they make for? Why, they rush upon the nets! And thus they perish by confounding what they should fear with that wherein no danger lies. . . . Not death or pain is to be feared, but the fear of death or pain. Well said the poet therefore:—Death has no terror; only a Death of shame!"
-Epictetus
