Does islam spawn terror??

I realize there is a chance for extremism in any religion, but is it just my imagination or are most terrorists muslim? If there is such a discrepancy between terrorists who are from other religions and those of islam then isnt it obvious that there is something in that religion that is causing it to happen and its not just some bad people that are apart the religion but something that is within the religion and taught to the people (im asking cuz i dont know much bout islam)? I am asking this not to flame on muslims, i am looking for legitimate answers that are not just flaming. also if the number of terrorists who are muslim is not exponentially higher then id also like to know what the numbers are.

Well I believe that part of Islam's violence is due to the media coverage of the more exciting events that happen in the region, namely the terrorism. Since that's what most of the world sees, that's what we believe is happening in the area.

Also, some of the leaders, religious or not, are taking advantage of a socioeconomically displaced class of people and giving them something to do. It's easy to blame your poverty and loss of political power on those who have wealth and influence (America). I honestly don't have a clue about Islam other than what the media tells me but what I do know is that Islam doesn't promote terrorism (which is not to be confused with violence).
