Another point ... I think it would be a cheap shot to blame it all on Islam. Islamic history begins in Arabia in the 7th century. There are almost 1,5 billion muslims in the World today (app. 23% of the World population). How many of them are terrorists? International Islamist terrorism is a quite new phenomenon since the 1970ies. And fundamentalism and terrorism was and is not an Islamic monopoly. Christians and other religions have their share too. I guess it can't only be the religion that makes the terrorists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country
