The Islamic religion itself is said to be a "religion of peace", except these radical terrorist groups such as ISIS interpret these Islamic values and motivations from the Quran to the absolute extreme, and to the point where it goes against basic modern Muslim values. Did I mention these groups also state their own justifications for rightfully killing, kidnapping, and torturing non-Muslims? It's called extremism. To be fair, there are a number of quotes in the Quran that seem to have a theme statement of "believe what I say or I'll kill you" to them (although, the same can be said about the Bible and Torah; these books are ancient and a lot of the information is outdated and/or inhumane) and the majority of terrorist groups today seem to be centered around Islam. Yet, I wouldn't say Islam is the main reason these groups commit acts of terror, but it's more about how their beliefs and values can be interpreted in a wrong way with the wrong people. Radical terrorists' heads aren't exactly screwed on right, obviously, and if it weren't for the religion they could, quite possibly, still be criminals and/or terrible people in general.
