Would it not be more accurate to write: "Murdered by Al Qaeda extremists"? And why do people like O'Reilly so desperately want it to be more vague? Because they have another agenda, of course.This is more complex than a simple case of PC gone mad. The problem is that the description is not only (correctly) labeling the extremists as muslims but it is, by implication, labeling muslims as extremists. Many of the people doing most to fight Al Qaeda extremism in this world are muslims (lets face it some of the most critical people are probably very brave muslims working undercover to infiltrate these terrorists. That is always how these terrorist wars are one: see IRA.) So, the description works two ways and one of the ways, while it is only implicit, is offensive and misleading. Would you be happy for a memorial to a civilian killed in Iraq to read: "Murdered by a Christian soldier"? "But they are not fighting on behalf of Christianity," I here you say, "They are fighting for America". Well, a lot of muslims would say these extremists are not fighting for Islam but for a perverted extremist creed. So, why not: "Murdered by Al Qaeda extremists"?
