What's key and often overlooked when folks throw religion into the mix, is that violence in the Bible is descriptive, whereas violence in the Qur'an is prescriptive - commanded by Allah and Muhammed. To say otherwise would be orienting on a "narrative" as opposed to orienting on facts. Christianity doesn't have any theological legal imperative commanding Christians to go out and do violence on Christianities behalf, whereas Islam does.
Islam is unique in having a developed doctrine, theology, and legal system that mandates warfare against unbelievers - terrorism.
"...I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." (Sura 8:12)
