You get uneducated, disenfranchised people with no job or organization to provide purpose in their life, and you accidentally kill a bunch of innocent people in front of them.
Canadian/American/British bombs and bullets have taken out many innocent people during these missions, and destroyed many people's homes and places of work, taking away their livelyhood.
Then they get pissed off, have nothing to lose, and look for something that is the nearest facimile of the people they are trying to get back at, and you have terrorist acts.
Is it really that unfathomable? Throw a decades long war on Canadian soil and you'll have a nice crop of Christian terrorists.

Can't thank you enough for this. This is exactly it.
Just to shed some light on this, the main idea behind killing in Islam is basically fighting against your oppressor. Yes, Islam is a religion of peace, but it's also not a religion that teaches you to sit back and accept a foreign force coming in and murdering your people. I think whether you're Muslim, Christian or Athiest, we can all agree that fighting back is the right thing to do when your land is invaded.
Where we get terrorism, however, is when someone messes with a Muslim's head and tells them that the civilians of the countries that are at war with them are the same as the soldiers that invaded them. That's wrong and ignorant.
Edit: To add to this, I think the main reason why 99% of terrorists are Muslims is because that's the way the media and politicians define it. You get a white/black guy shoot up a school in Connecticut or a movie theatre in Colorado and they're called criminals. You get a bunch of Muslims detonating a bunch of bombs in Boston and they're called terrorists. The end results of all those incidents is the same and are all caused by mental instability along with some effed up ideologies.
