Can't really say its solely the religion that is sparking it. Lots of political, social and economic reasons why these people are becoming extremists.

If they didn't have Islam, they'd probably have another ideology such as communism or something and be having violent revolutions all the time.

Poverty, power imbalances, intolerance between different ethnic groups, the after effects of European imperialism and colonialism and the subsequent withdrawls, etc are probably more the root cause of a lot of these issues. Religion factors in but its not the sole cause as some people mistakenly believe.

Violence is a worldwide occurence.
