I think this is being done to avoid offending muslims, now everyone nows islamic fundamentalism is the cause of recent terrorism in the west, and islamic terrorism is the terror we are having a war on, so everyone nows its muslim terrorists.

So does it really matter if the goverment tells the civil service not to mention muslim or islam when talking about terrorism as it seems they are just trying to avoid offence, now if they were trying to blame the terrorism on a different religion i would have a problem, but it seems they are just trying to cause less offence to muslims and maybe calm down some of the anti-muslim feelings in the UK.
