Why are "Islamic Extremists" often not religious at all?

For muslims, dying in an act of terror commpletely wipes their late clean, like plenary indulgence.

Blowing up innocent people isn't martyrdom.

However, I suspect for every one of those you will find tens of actual hardcore religious Muslims who support them.

Literally tens of Muslims.

Muslims say it has nothing to do with Islam because they don't want to shoulder the responsibility for something they created, politicians parrot this because the reality of the situation is that they have allowed very large numbers of people in to our countries that make the Nazis look good by comparison.

It has everything to do with Islam and every single Muslim is responsible, they might not all commit acts of violence, but they create the people that do and are completely indifferent towards stopping this. It's really disgusting that they will say Islam is not the problem or that it's peaceful when we have people being murdered and raped and enslaved all around us by people screaming that Islam calls them to do these things.

It's not a small number, given the large amount of terrorists present in the world atm.

bigotry at its finest.

Islam is simply not the problem. If Islam were the singular factor which caused these people to go and decide to murder non-believers, then why is this problem borderline nonexistent in the highest Muslim population countries? Indonesia has had fewer terrorist attacks in recent years than Paris, but it is almost 90% Muslim.

The cause of this problem is war. When you are a young person caught in the middle of a conflict induced by failed western foreign policy / intervention, and when you have corrupt dictators or brutal regimes ruling the country, you become radicalised. Violence and persecution becomes the norm, you become full of hatred and you want to blame it on other people.

Islam is simply the curtain these murderers hide behind, because being labelled as an 'Islamic terrorist' has a better vibe than being labelled a 'one-off madman' or 'murderer'. These 'Islamic terrorists' don't give a single **** about Islam or Muslims.

Government travel advice advice on Indonesia;

"There is a high threat from terrorism. Terrorist groups continue to plan and carry out attacks. These groups have the capacity and intent to carry out attacks at anytime and anywhere in the country. Type of attacks have included suicide bombings and small-arms fire, targeting public and crowded places.Even though the Indonesian authorities have successfully disrupted attack planning in the recent past, the threat from Islamist extremism remains high.On 14 January 2016 a terrorist attack took place near the Sari Pan Pacific Hotel and Sarinah Plaza on Jalan M.H. Thamrin in central Jakarta. The attack included a number of explosions and gun battles. Eight people died and a number were injured, including foreigners. The last major attack before this was on 17 July 2009 when the JW Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta were bombed. One British national was killed. Small-scale attacks occur on a regular basis and further attacks are likely.Indonesian government, law enforcement interests and places of worship are regularly targeted by extremists. Western interests are also at risk."

This is meaningless, there is a high terror threat in Britain, but we still go about our everyday lives just as normal. A 'high terror risk' is still excessively low - the risk itself is a threat to the country and not to individuals.

Indonesia has had one terror attack recently, which was essentially stopped by security forces.

But according to your bigoted anti Islam / anti Muslim rhetoric, it should have had thousands, given that it is virtually of 90% Muslim population.
