Beyond grivences with Israel there are a lot of things that have contributed to increases in terrorism in the middle east.

Wahhabism spread greatly. You also had modernization and population explosions in the middle east.
All your link does is prove my point. Terrorism didn't arrive in the middle east until 1946 when jewish terrorists attacked the King David hotel in Jerusalem then a few years later at the Deir Yassin massacre. All this proves is terrorism is generally driven by political gains as opposed to radical religious ones.
