"Muslim terrorism" seems like if anything it draws a closer connection between Muslims in general and this concept, no?

"Muslim terrorism" sounds as acceptable as "Acts of terrorism committed by Muslims", the problem is when one describes it as "Islamic terrorism" and taints as such all Muslims as opposed to a single faction. Yes, the one who uses the term "Muslim terrorism" is nevertheless mistaken for the reason you mentioned, terrorism is a global problem and not confined to a particular group of people.
