Its very surprising that you are even asking this question in the age of internet. The answer is very simple. Organizations that resort to using violence against civilians to further their objectives. In the case of Islamic terror groups they openly associate themselves to Islamic teachings and claim to be fighting for protecting Islamic interests.
Examples: AQ, Taliban, ISIS, JeM, LET etc etc. why ? They resort to everything from suicide bombings to beheading, to taking hostages etc.
Except that if you claim your religion to be extremely peaceful the expectation is that the outcome of such teachings should reflect in the actions of the followers over many many centuries. I gave you the perfect example of Jainism. You cannot claim that your religion is extremely peaceful when there are literally dozens of Islamic terror groups operating openly and also claim to be pious followers of Islam.
I am not talking about acts of random individuals. I am talking about well known Organizations who are openly about violence as a means to further their objective and have been officially designated as such by prominent countries around the world and ofcourse the UN and other world organizations.
So LTTE , Bajrang Daal , Babaar Khalsa all also fall under that definition ?
Someone claiming something does not make it a fact , today if I claim to be God , will I be accepted as one. May be it is my shallow knowledge , but I would like you to show me where exactly Islam promotes killing of civilians ?
Islam believes in and its core teaching is peace , but it does not mean it is a weak religion. Islam believes in violence to restore peace. That is how every society runs. As I had mentioned in above comments , Islam is the only religion which has a living jurisprudence , no ambiguity in its teachings. The fundamentals are in white and black , not grey.
Individuals are part of ideology of organisations. There are several Leaders of those organisation that encourage such incidents , but no where I have blamed Hinduism for that.
