In the trial of Nazi criminal Klaus Barbie, the controversial lawyer Jacques Vergès tried to present what was defined as a Tu Quoque Defence—i.e., that during the Algerian War, French officers such as General Jacques Massu had committed war crimes similar to those with which Barbie was being charged, and therefore the French state had no moral right to try Barbie. This defense was rejected by the court, which convicted Barbie.[5]

The tu quoque fallacy literally translates to "you too".
Your entire post seem to be saying "see, Islam isn't the only religion responsible for terrorism. Other religions suck, too".

I NEVER said you were excusing terrorism.
