I'm not sure if it's really PC run amok, which it might be, or if it's a way of trying to marginalize the terrorist networks and supporters from anyone who might be mainstream and Muslim.
There are elements of PC that I think have contributed to the recent problems, and we're going to have to figure out how to handle them in the future: the whole "Flying Imams" flap may provide a good example of what I mean here.
But if you have a rapidly growing Muslim population like all of Western Europe does, you've got to figure out a way to make clear that you're not targeting all Muslims for the actions of a limited few, or if it's not a limited few, you've got to figure out what your long range plan is before you tip your hand.
ETA: which isn't to say that I think we have to pretend that we don't notice that the terrorists are Muslim. But when we're condemning the people responsible, we want to make sure the focus in on condemnation for the terrorism.
