The real false narrative is that these terrorists are oppressed peoples lashing out against their oppressors (big surprise that a leftist would trot out that trope...).
It doesn't explain why a lot of these terrorists attack their home country. Or why high functioning individuals from countries largely free from western interference like Saudi Arabia and Egypt fly planes into buildings. Or, if you want to expand the category of "oppressed" countries to any area that has seen any kind of colonialism ever, why we don't see attacks against western countries by people from SE Asia or Latin America? What has freaking Belgium ever done to Arab people to deserve a terrorist attack?
It's nice you found a link to a map documenting "terror" attacks all over the world, and no one is saying it's the exclusive realm of islam, but its much, much, much more common than any other motivation.
