There is a reason why when something like this happens, everyone automatically knows it's radical islam. Because the vast majority of the time, it is. Political correctness be damned in my opinion. No one here is saying Muslims are at fault. We are specifically talking about radical, extremist Muslims who think Allah wants them to kill everyone who is not them.
But your statement here (my bold) is just flat out false.
Non muslims carry out 90% of terrorist attacks (2013 - USA)
As they say, lies, damned lies, and statistics. Rhythm likes to say this too but I've never seen him link to the data and I didn't feel like looking it up myself. The article you link to links to this:

For purposes of your statistic, when the Animal Liberation Front commits an act of vandalism, that counts as one incident. The 9/11 attacks that killed 2,972 people also count as...one incident.
Don't you think you're mixing apples and oranges with this statistic?
Let's look at the deaths and injuries in the report.
Deaths
Total: 3,178
Muslim: 2,984, or 94%
Injuries
Total: 14,038
Muslim: 13,051, or 93%
