No.
Why would you ask that question?

What about the PIRA, UDA, UVF, ...

What about them?
They cancel out other terrorist or what?

Most terrorist attacks will be carried out by someone who was intending to follow Islam as closely as properly as possible.
Not 'despite' their adherence but actually because of it.

Most Muslims will not commit the terrorist attack just as most Brits never actually served in action in WW2.
Most Muslims in the world will agree with, condone or 'prefer' most Islamic terrorist attacks.

Obviously this is not 'all Muslims' because thankfully so many are better people and smarter people than Mohammad and they won't actually take that Koran too seriously.
In this case - the ones who 'fall away' or take a 'liberal view' are less likely to create or condone violence.

Now if you want to compare to something take Buddhists and Christians.
The MORE the Christian follows his bible and the more seriously he adheres the less he will be motivated to explode a gay nightclub.
The MORE the Buddhist sticks to his teachings the less excuse he can find for murdering opposition in Tibet.
It is possible on of them does pull **** like that but it will be IN SPITE of their teachings or as they fall away, forget or ignore their religious teachings.

You see there is a big difference here and its one reason why it is unhelpful and even 'senseless' and confusing to say of someone 'They are religious'.
What religion?
It can imply very different ideas and practices depending on which and how much.
