Islam is nothing but justification of criminal activity, a way to raise an army of depraved men to make plunder and conquest with. Imagine the concept of tythe of a percentage of your money to support a church changed to a tythe of a percentage of your plunder in exchange for the justification of slaughter. A religion for pirates, written by a caravan raider. This is not my take, this is Islams history.
There are many, many parts of the Torah that are just as violent, but somehow they never get equated with the actions undertaken by Israel...Israel is always defending itself; never mind that car bombings and political assassinations in the region date back to the Stern Gang and others. Even then, the actions of Israeli extremists were never equated to their practice of Judaism.
The attacks on the United States were perpetrated by people spilling out of your region, curiously, not by Muslims living here; and I say curiously because it flies at the face of this theory that Muslims are inherently evil because their religion instructs them to be evil; most people fail to observe the vast majority of their religious beliefs, so even if those parsed bits of the Qu'ran everyone keeps quoting as proof positive of the evil nature of the adherents are actually instructions to kill infidels, the vast majority of Muslims pay as much attention to that as we generally pay attention to God's mandate of keeping the seventh day Holy.
Most if not all all terrorist attacks can be traced right back to the region were you live; it grows terrorists who then go out from there to find recruits. In Chechnya, Wahhabi extremism found a new source of foot soldiers in those engaged in a decades, if not centuries, old war against the Russian occupation of the region, and this posses a problem, as it effectively opens a new front in the global war being waged by Wahhabi extremists.
The problem with this front is that I truly believe Russia to be incapable of effectively handling this problem, and if this problem isn't handled, it will spill out throughout the Caucasus, and eventually into Western Europe.
Even if Islam is little more than everything you say, it effectiveness as far as raising these "armies" is questionable. The vast majority of Muslims live outside your region, and yet, the vast majority of terrorists come from your region.
Terrorism is a geopolitical issue, concentrated in a very specific region of the world, and carried out by a very specific number of nations. The goal of those terrorists and the governments who sponsor them, is to elevate their status to something that they are not...legitimate. The plan is to actually create the sort of attitude that most in here have about Islam, and by doing that, present extremism as the accepted voice of Islam.
Thinking people understand that there are far too many hundreds of millions of Muslims who have never participated in an act of terrorism, and who will in fat never participate in one, to believe that the relatively small percentage of extremists in the world are the norm, rather than the exception.
