What about the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka? Their first suicide bombing took place in 1987, before the tactic was widely used in the Islamic Middle East. They're Hindus, BTW, and their Sinhalese opponents are mostly Buddhist.

This forum is becoming a joke.
Don't generalise. That is like me going to every christian and claiming that they are clan members. Or every jew and assuming they are zionists. Or for a more general analogy, to go to every person who has a beautifull wife and kids, and assume that thier life is not full of hardships. Or to assume a person that dresses well has money.
There are extremists in every religion and out of religion. Like serial killers or kamakaze pilots of japan. And christians don't hijack planes. They hijack lands. From this land that we walk on called america to s africa. Where I have just learned about 2 days ago, they actually used indians as slaves. Similar to the africans for america. And extremists are exactly that. Extremists. Please do not judge another muslim by the action of a different person. Two different people. A real muslim is all about peace and love for humanity. To spread islam by showing good character and having another admire this pious man. Then see why he is so devout. To question instead of mocking.
But yes, there are extremists. But the biggest one is sitting in our presidential office. I guess it applies to that old saying, "play with the bull and you get the horns". Not that I condone terrorism. But you get the point.
PEACE!

That you don't hear of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm taking a class on religious violence right now and there isn't a world religion NOT involved in what outsiders call 'terrorism'.
For instance:
Christianity: Ireland and abortion 'freedom fighters'
Judaism: fundamentalist Jews who settle in Palestinian lands
Buddhism: Sri Lanka
Hinduism: violence in India
Sikhims: violence in India (Punjab)
