On the contrary, it is exactly religion that motivates these people. While certainly not all Moslems believe in this extremist view, the number who do is significant. What is even more important is to understand that even more not only tolerate it, but admire it's fervor. This is the point, Islam is fundamentally a supremacist religion. In the West, supremacist beliefs are generally decried, and rightly so, but this is not the case with Islam. It is not the West who needs to tolerate and change, but Islam. There are some signs of this in Egypt, and hopefully it will spread throughout the Moslem world.

I didn't explain my self very clearly. What I mean, is that religion and race are not justifiable grounds, or validation for their actions. I mean that separately from their own motivations. A man can kill another because he is a different colour, that's his reasoning an his motivation, but that doesn't validate the murder. Simply put race and religion aren't excuses for violence.
