I think the understanding has to be that these people are inflicting pain under the guise of religion when really it is politics at the heart of things.
That isn't to say religions can't do more as they can and should. But I don't believe for a second we get rid of terrorists by getting rid of religion or religious fervor becasue as someone mentioned the reason thsi exists is because they believe they are being oppressed or have been harmed etc by some certain group. Religion is just the blanket they like to wrap things up in. If it didn't exist they'd find another blanket (perhaps national identity fervor)
