Get a grip. Religion itself is the most questioned motivation. This isn't unique to Islam, you know that, don't let your bias get in the way of the truth.

Give me one example. When has someone committed a violent act (killed someone, attacked an abortion clinic for example) and explicitly said that they did it for religious reasons based on their Christian beliefs, and then had everyone react with protestations of, "that's not really what motivated this person"? I can't think of a single one.
Now, you can point to many crimes committed by people who
happened to be Christians where their Christianity wasn't brought to the fore. But that's different. Christians (and Muslims, and Jews, etc) can commit atrocities without being motivated by their religion. But it only seems to be Muslims who can unequivocally tell everyone, "I'm doing this for religious reasons", and in many cases cite scripture supposedly justifying their actions, and yet have their religion denied as being the motivating factor.
