muslims, not islamists

I found odd that you use the apologetic word "islamists" in reference to MUSLIMS commiting acts of terrorism. It sounds as if the terrorists were a different breed and not plain ordinary MUSLIMS.

With all respect to you; wouldn't be clearer, fairer and better to call the terrorists just plain MUSLIMS?

Thank you
