You're guessing here at what people will or will not say.
And there's a difference between a terrorist act and some guy that simply wants to kill a bunch of people.
Terrorist acts have the intention of creating political/societal change through the use of violence. A rando shooting up a church/movie theatre/concert for personal reasons is not an act of terrorism.
Words have meaning, and it has nothing to do with this murderer being muslim or not.
The IRA was a terrorist organization and none of their members was muslim afaik.
