nope. it refers to a terrorist who is a muslim and who commits these acts of terrorism in the name of islam. calling someone an islamic terrorist is not a slur against the peace-advocating religion, it is merely a way to refer to them, much like the term jerry was used to refer to german military personnel in ww2.

No. It isn't a statement--it's a phrase.
It could be considered racist, but it is more likely simply a category of terrorist. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but certain terrorists are basing their activities on their interpretation of their Islamic principles. There have been Communist terrorists, Fascist terrorists and many other kinds of terrorists.
Racism would imply that a race of people was involved. Muslims come from several racial groups, including African, Caucasian and Asian. So I would say Islamic Terrorist is not racist, but it probably isn't a term I would use.

Erm, no.
There are some terrorist groups that aren't as religious as others, but they're inextricably linked to radical Islam. That's not an indictment of Islam, Islamic peoples or their culture.

Well that depends, if it is an Islamic follower who isn't a terrorist yes. If it is actually an Islamic terrorist than no. LOL
