Taking off the veil on Islamic terrorism

Acts of terrorism seldom advance the political goals of their perpetrators, unless those goals are hatred or some other violence enabling rhetoric.

Most interpretations of sacred Islamic texts would not lead one to agree with such acts either, so what could be motivating these tragic incidents? Could there be a geopolitical player intentionally backing terrorism? After all the war on terrorism is supporting a lot of legislature some of which enables international spying.

I try to be unbiased but there could be a high chance that there is a scheme supporting terror attacks, and the mainstream media overcovers these incidents. For reference, dozens of terrorist attacks occur each month outside the "west" yet are only covered by local news. Either way I ask for the opinion of steemers who have a say in this matter :)
