Well sure, each group is going to have differing agendas etc, but over all they are doing this to further (as they see is ) Islam. I can understand were your coming from, your don't like the idea of your religion being though of as committing such acts, and no one here believes that the average Muslim would do this. However, there are violent elements of the Islamic culture that do commit such acts. And some will indeed be don't it for their own goals, like gaining power etc, but the bulk will be doing it because they believe it to be the act of Islam. Doesn't mean that it is Islamic teaching, just that they see it as such. Its the only way to explain why all international terrorists today are Islamic.
