Religion is not simply another excuse it can also be a big motivational factor. It is too easy to just say "religion has nothing to do with it" or "it could have been any other religion". If you look at the islamic doctrine and also the islamic history you will see that already Muhammad had critics of him and his religion be killed. That's mainstream islamic knowledge and doctrine and in the islamic world people wouldn't even be ashamed to admit that as it is normal ("divine") law for them. In the non-muslim world of course muslims don't go advertising about those part of their religion because they know that those parts aren't accepted and seen as something normal/positive. It's then easier to say "but your religion was bad too" - but that's just a "And you are lynching negroes" kind of argument. We don't need those kind of arguments we need a discussion for example why somebody who led his critics be killed should be seen as a role model.
