Why do Atheists defend Islam?

If Islamic terrorism was really only caused by economic and political reasons, then people from the USA and UK wouldn't be leaving these prosperous nations to join them. Islam is indeed a driving factor in terrorism. Is it the only factor? No, but it's a significant one.

Ah, yes. There are no ghettos and poverty in these prosperous nations.

Were you born yesterday or are you ignorant on purpose?

Also, you might want to look up Europol and FBI statistics concerning terrorist attacks. Religiously motivated terror makes up 4 to 5 percent of all terrorist attacks on European and American soil. And that's not even singling out Islam.
