Scandium, it doesn't really matter if it is found in the quran or it is found by those who interpret the quran in a certain way. The terrorists who use Allah as their justification could not have done so without the quran, right? The evil is done by the evil doer, not his knife. But take away his knife and he'd have to come up with something else. Or maybe not being inspired in the first place.
I am sure there are socio economic explanations up to both ears, but unlike national economy and traditional warfare, the acts of individuals are a bit harder to just ascribe to material factors. There is a will, too, a will to lash out and harm other people, instead of choosing not to lash out and harming other people.
