OK, but religion is rather result of these believes, not the reason.

Religion and beliefs are ontegrated into one whole. As well you can say that beliefs are result of the religion.

And religion as a collective system of ultimate beliefs (the ones which are assumed by the society or a movement) in more general abstract meaning, can include marxism, national socialism or secular democracy.

Communists didn't need religion. They created their own ideology. These terrorists, extremists aren't enough smart to create their own ideology, so they use religion. It's easier, because people in Muslin states are usually poor educated. I think that there is a big difference between Muslims in the USA and for example Muslims in Saudi Arabia, so I dare to say that It's not about religion or at least that religion is not the most important.
I guess that It would be possible to convince Christians somewhere in Central Africa that they should kill Muslims or Jews.
