If you interview a Jihadist or a guy from Al-Qaeda you'll see that religion is what motivates them, it's all about religion, it's not about excessively violent people - Muslim terrorists rationalize their behaviour and think they are 100% right, and their ideology is based on Islamic holy books (Quran, Sharia and others).
Actually, I think we're talking about a group of people who are "mentally handicapped", but manage to hide that behind a holy book's instructions.
It's the fact that many "normal" people believe in that holy book that lends credence to it and exacerbates the "mentally handicapped" behaviors.
Ultimately, the moderates are to fault - without moderates, the holy book would not be holy... or would be much less regarded, sort of like the book of mormon.
As long as some people believe in holy tales, screwed up people will use them as backing for their screwed up acts.
