Because if you honestly believe all terrorist attacks are caused by religion then you would be wrong.

There are reasons behind every attack, right or wrong. These guys just don't kill people to go to heaven to get their 72 virgins or whatever it is. I'm sure some do, and I'm sure others are so mad about how they've been treated in Iraq, Afghanistan.. having their land stolen..etc that they want to act out and get what they perceive as revenge. Religion wouldn't play a role in those attacks, but all you hear in the media is Islamic terrorists because the guy has a beard and is easily recognizeable as a muslim.
