By always qualifying "terrorism" as "Islamic," you end of conflating the two. Why was such-and-such a violent event terror? Because it was either carried out by a person identifying as a Muslim or carried out ostensibly in the name of Islam. If neither of these criteria obtain, then it wasn't terrorism.
Case in point last week's massacre at a Mosque in Quebec...perpetrated by a Canadian white non-Muslim. It's unclear exactly how much he subscribed to right-wing views, but signs point to yes. The only mention out of the White House regarding the incident is buried in a press conference transcript in a question asked by a reporter.
