There are Taliban who wouldn't (and haven't) shot up gay clubs. Being gay is a capital offense in parts of Afghanistan and Shia Iran has executed homosexuals as recently as 2014. It's like the Catholics doing all the bombings and all Catholics being painted as IRA suicide bombers: Religion in general, no matter how radical, is not the proximate cause of violence. It may be the justification but at the end of the day, you have to want to kill somebody to kill somebody and there are billions of devoutly religious people in the world of all creeds that have no instinct to murder.
