Your graph doesn't have any source, so as far as I know that data is completely made-up.

Let us assume it's true though: the point is that religion isn't the prime motivating factor in terrorist attacks. If it was, Christians would be terrorists too, since there's plenty of Bible scriptures that encourage war against infidels and stoning heretics. The way I see it is that blaming it on messages in the Quran is just textbook scapegoating behavior. People don't want to actually learn the complicated factors that contribute to terrorism, and so they pick a simplistic explanation that makes it easy to blanket-label a group of people as 'the problem'.

The reason Christians aren't terrorists has nothing to do with the Bible being nicer (because we've already shown it really isn't). It's because the average Christian in the modern age lives a completely different life than the average Syrian Sunni Muslim.

Also, for what it's worth, your graph shows that right-wing American extremists killed more people than Jidahists (clarification: in the US) for nearly every single year after 2001. That's not a very flattering statistic by any interpretation.

Christianity went through a reformation. I understand it's generally understood that liberals are willfully ignorant on every subject that might contradict their internal narrative, but the reason we don't follow the bible verbatim anymore is because the religion changed half a millennia ago into what we practice today.

Islam has never had a major reform and the religion practiced in the middle east is virtually unchanged from the version the stuffskin child enthusiast warlord who started it practiced.

Well you should at least name a few factors contributing to terrorism that you consider to be of greater influence than Islam.
There aren't any.

It's well established that a strong correlation exists between Islam and terrorism, at home and abroad.
Almost all terrorists self-identify as Muslims, come from predominantly Muslim countries, etc...  Do you seriously not know that?

violence from prominent terrorist groups in predominantly muslim countries, threats of violence from prominent terrorist groups in predominantly muslim countries, the essential brainwashing via controlling the education system by prominent terrorist groups in predominantly muslim countries

riding under the veneer of islam is nothing more than a way to make brainwashing easier to swallow for citizens in predominantly muslim countries, and in a way, to convince discriminated against muslims that terrorism is better than the treatment they recieve elsewhere in the world.
