I agree. There are complex, multilayered issues pulling each terrorist organization, and while at face they seem to have the same objectives and motivations, they actually don't. I.e. Hizbullah v. Al-Qieda v. Hamas. I think, in the media, with words flying around flying around like "Islamic terrorism", some would find it hard to differentiate these groups, and just lump them all together based on religion.
