Muslims feel like it's Muslims vs Everyone else at the moment.
Even in road rage incidents. Muslims think "is it because I'm Muslim?"
Answer the question of the topic. Do you visualise islam or Muslim when you hear terrorist?

No.
Do you ask because many who are arrested for terrorism may happen to be of the Islamic faith?
Were the IRA Muslim?
Terrorists are arrested & charged with terrorism if they are under suspicion of committing that offence. There would be evidence to prove they were involved or not with the offence they are charged/convicted of...
When I hear the word 'terrorist' I visualise blood, bodies, destruction, death, mutilation, sadness, despair.
ETA: Sorry, forgot the other question. Is it because of the media? No, it's because of the blood, bodies, destruction, death, mutilation, sadness and despair.
