Well both Muslim and Islamic refer to their religion. There are millions of Muslims in the U.S. who practice their religion and are not terrorists and live here peacefully. What does religion have to do with anything?You need to be able to spot a trend in order to stop a trend. If you simply label this as terrorism or 'workplace violence' then you are ignoring the trend and strangely accepting it as normal somehow.

It would be a mistake to think of Islam as simply a religion. It is also a culture, and one that is at violent odds with the west because of it's fundamental opposition to western values.
Islam is a religion of violence and began as a religion of war, violence, forced submissiveness and intolerance.
I don't think so, but I think it's important to label a terrorist a terrorist.

How does millions of peaceful Muslims make Islamic terrorism not Islamic terrorism? It's not confidence inspiring when our leaders (or whoever) seem to be unaware of what's at issue.
Whether it's right wing, Islamic, environmentalism etc. terrorism, call it what it is.
When the US supports them they are "freedom fighters", when the US doesn't support them they are terrorists. In fact on DP it would likely be just as difficult to get a consensus definition of "terrorist" as it would be a consensus definition of "God".
as long as there is no hatred generated toward muslims
It identifies their particular TYPE of radicalism. Islam is what motivates them, it is Islam that drives their behavior, and it is in the name of Islam that they engage in their violent actions. Not all muslims are terrorists, of course, in fact that vast majority are not. But it is Islam that unites groups like ISIS. Placing the word Islam in front of the word terrorist simply helps define the particular brand of terrorism being discussed. For example, these are not environmental terrorists, or engaged in race based terrorism. They are religious terrorists, and the religion that motivates them is islam.
Really? You think the attack in France is ambiguous? ISIS? If anyone sees any value in ISIS, they're messed up.
Al Qaeda = Freedom fighters
Al Qaeda = Terrorists
Which is correct?
I voted "yes", but that was assuming that their terrorist acts are connected to their religion. As it perhaps is, in most cases. When someone commits an act of terrorism in the name of an islamist organization, of course his religion matters.
But assuming there is a case a person who happens to be Muslim participates in a terrorist act with an entirely unrelated agenda -- say, for animal protection, or for communism --, then I don't think his religion matters. It would only result in false conclusions if his religion was emphasized, in that case.
