This is sheer, unadulterated evil. Terrorism has historically had a political objective. I see no objective here - These people just like killing others and inflicting pain and misery for its own sake.

Yup....Satan is directly behind it. After that bit of basics, there is nothing left to understand.

Yes, but... Crusades!

This has a political objective -- follow my religion or else. This is what Timur-e-lang did (Tamerlane) -- he slaughtered 5% of the world's population (bigger than Hitler or Mao or Stalin did). His genocide wiped out the Assyrian Church of the East and nearly decimated the Georgian and Armenian Christians.

The political objective is Islam.

Mohammed and companions and various Moslem rulers did no less

That's is the reward offered by the cult of Islam to its male devotees.
They get the chance to practice sadism, rape, murder and thievery to their heart's desire.

.
No, this is the normal, medieval, vanilla type of Islam that you can read about in history books.

It has not been active in the past 100 years because Muslim countries were controlled by the West.

This is no longer the case and you will now rediscover the true face of the religion of peace.
