Avoid using word combinations such as ‘Islamic terrorist’ or ‘Muslim extremist.’"

Yes, it's just being repetitive and redundant.

Avoid using terms such as "jihad" unless you are certain of their precise meaning and include the context when they are used in quotations. The basic meaning of "jihad" is to exert oneself for the good of Islam and to better oneself.

Someone should tell the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Meriam-Webster Dictionary that the have the wrong definition for this word.
