Its not a fault of a religious book or a religion, its fault of skewed mentality of people, misinterpretation of God's words, distortion of religious texts, religion for personal benefits. Remember religion is a very powerful tool to control huge population by distorting according to your aims and goals.But again when the hate comes from a Stone age book written 1300 years ago, wouldn't it be prudent to revise the narrative of that book ? The biggest screen for the Terrorists to hide behind apart from the Burkha is the hate-filled narrative in that book.
Similarly, the caste system in India was a occupation based system, each were respected but the upper class distorted this system. Similarly, Sati Pratha was a woman's choice. But people then forced it. Dowry was supposed to help the daughter to start her own life as she didn't get any share of her father's property, she used to receive gifts on various occasions but greed of people changed it and converted into crime by torturing, burning brides.
You have to be rational. Ever wonder why there are Muslims scholars and scientists, businessmen, players, actors etc. who excel in their field, who read the same book these terrorists think they know from the book ?
The answer lies in how you perceive it and make conclusions from it.
