It's interesting that you didn't mention most of the terrorist activities over the last 3 years. How about the muslums attacking a Christian village and killing almost everyone, including women and children, in Africa. This actually happened a few times. The army base shooter in Texas. The Boston Marathon Bombers were indeed muslums. Not all terrorists are muslums just like not all convicts are black. But the statistics don't lie. Most of them are.

A lot depends on your definition of 'terrorist'. This normally refers to somebody fighting against the government and I'm not sure running amok with an automatic weapon and killing young children actually fits this definition.
However, it is true that not all people who commit acts of terrorism are Muslim. And, of course, very few Muslims are terrorists.

In terms of quantity of incidents, you're correct, mostly incidents are eco-terrorism.
In terms of body count, Muslims are still well in the lead.

I think we should, but the recent attacks were indeed by Muslims. Sorry.
On the Russian language social networking site VK, Dzhokhar described his "World View" as "Islam", and his personal priority as "career and money". He had posted links to Islamic websites, links to videos of fighters in the Syrian civil war, and links to pages calling for independence for Chechnya.
