Addition:
If you want to put the blame on religion, you could blame Wahhabism.
Wahhabism is a recent (mostly 20th century) branch of pseudo-Sunni Islam that started to gather speed in the 1970's, and that actually does correlate with terrorism to the point that people are IMO right to be worried about it.
(Also worth noting that not all Islamic armed groups that are labeled terrorists are at all the same. Some have fighting what I'd call somewhat legitimate wars, if you consider any war to be legitimate. Others are simply terror groups. The latter type tend to be Wahhabists.)
