No it's just being exact... and not fueling the feeling of isolation or being under attack that many Muslims in the UK feel - feelings that the Muslim community says only drives more into the hands of the extremists. So instead of Muslim you'll see the terms Islamists or Muslim/Islamic Extremists.

Its the ideology not the faith of the terrorists that is the issue, and to confuse or muddy the waters about this distinction only makes fighting that ideology all the more difficult.
