Islamic terrorism. Why does it exist? Is there something inherent within the religion itself, or a reaction to Western activity?

Some people are psychopaths and that condition manifests itself in the form of terrorism, or other acts of extreme violence.

Some psychopaths may "follow" a certain religion or cause, and use that as a fig leaf. Some do not bother. Some simply pick up a gun and start shooting people randomly in a quiet community in Northern California. Some drive hijacked planes into the WTC, and some set up a trap for concert goer's in Las Vegas and gun them down, indiscriminately.

If terrorism is inherent to Islam, you would have hundreds of millions of terrorists on your hands.
