Albania, for example.

And, as I keep noting, the USA has a large, non-violent muslim population. (I'm sure that you can find evidence of US muslims committing violent acts, but not disproportionately to other Americans).

That's not proof of anything ; people often seek to justify violent action through religion.

A terrorist organisation called the KKK claimed they were doing God's work too. Most Christians would disagree with them.

And muslims vocally disagree that Al Qaeda are doing God's work either. (I posted links earlier).

Congratulations. At the time you posted this you were concerned about it. That's what I was referring to.

Yay, progress! Now that you've acknowledge that there are other factors, you have to explain why you discount all those to assume Islam is the root cause of terrorism.
