To see that a terrorist is Muslim and then assume, without any evidence at all, that they committed these acts in the name of Islam, is highly illogical.
We don't know why they committed these acts. They don't even seem to be affiliated with any Islamic terrorist groups. Heck, one of them apparently wanted to become a member of the American Olympic boxing team. Let's get the facts straight before we start jumping to conclusions, hmm?
Right on the nail.
There was also a very broad and comprehensive analysis on the subject of terrorism that was presented in a book titled, "Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism," by Robert Rape, and there is also a lecture on this on Youtube, in which the author provides a collection of many different facts and data about terrorist attacks that occurred around the world from 1980 to 2003.
The conclusion of the book is that most of the acts of terrorism around the world, both past and present, are clearly not carried out by Muslims.
Quote:The data show that there is little connection between suicide terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism, or any one of the world’s religions. In fact, the leading instigators of suicide attacks are the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, a Marxist-Leninist group whose members are from Hindu families but who are adamantly opposed to religion. This group committed 76 of the 315 incidents, more suicide attacks than Hamas.

And yes, never jump to conclusions.
