Is Islam instrumental in acts of terror such as the murder of the French cartoonist?
Can it drive otherwise sane people to acts of barbarity?
Or are the perpetrators psychopaths who would find any reason to kill some poor sod, and Islam is convenient?
Or is it some toxic mix of the pair of them? Would dangerous individuals perhaps be kept in check if their religion and some less salubrious practitioners of it didn't provide a seemingly legitimate outlet?
Is it something else?
Personally I don't think they could give that much of a toss about their religion, or its status, since every act of violence erodes public opinion, however genial it started out. I also don't think it's Islam per se - plenty of extremism has been perpetrated by people of other religions, using equally messed up interpretations of those religions as justification.

The ones who commit such atrocities should not be called Islam, Muslim, Christian, or Jewish, and should be publicly condemned by all who believe in God, To those who support these atrocities Isaiah 59:2 says Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that he will not hear 3 for your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity Etc..isn't this a terrible position to be in especially when the day of Judgment is at hand read also Koran 3:146

Extremists exist in all religions.
The Unibomber that terrorized the US for years was not Muslim.
Timothy McVey (the Oklahoma bomber) was Catholic.
Its not the religion, its the extremist interpretation of that religion.

Religion is. There have been several doctors in the US who were assassinated by "Christians" opposed to abortion.
