"Wrote" more likely than "spoke".

I'm not an Islamic scholar, but I like to believe that murdering and maiming people is against the religion. Much like murdering and maiming people is against Christianity but you still have whackjobs targeting abortion clinics. I wouldn't attribute this sort of thing as a feature of the religion itself so much as a dysfunction of the practitioner.

Terrorist / terrorism isn't a super useful or precise term. It's kind of a tautology - a terrorist is a person or group who does terrorist things.
