Well I'd call "99.9% of evil violence" an overexaggeration but certainly most terrorist acts are.
Anyway, I think these events with the Japanese hostages shit on any arguments that Islamic terrorism is happening because Muslims are angry with America and the West.
Japan has hardly done anything in the Middle East. It just shows these people (ISIS) are anti everything modern and hate any countries that are too civilised for them. Why else would it be? Japan has virtually no military outside of self-defense forces, and their diplomatic relations with America aren't that strong. ISIS are just targeting the civilised world in general, so Japan are dragged in too.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
