What's the actual purpose of terrorist attacks? I really don't get it, what's the reason for killing multiple people because of their religion?

What do terrorists get out of, well, terrorizing people. It's just plain stupid to me.

It's a power thing. Regardless of the stated motivation (muslim, christian, anti abortion, homophobe etc) at the core of it all is an all consuming narcissistic belief that they are the only ones who are right, and everyone who does not share that belief can only be convince otherwise by force.
And at the base of all that is a sad desperate need to control other people (usually due to a perceived lack of control of their own lives) - if you set off a bomb that makes people scared to go about their lives you are in a sense controlling them.
