Because Islam(or being a muslim) is relevant to the motive of the attack.I.E 'Islamist extremist'.
Being white is not relevant.
Terrorists can be white too you know.
Maybe he should be described as a far right extremist or terrorist.
Now do you think the media would say something like 'A brown man aged 48 has been arrested' because that's what the BBC did earlier only saying "white" instead.
What relevance is his skin colour?
