The examples I took are valid and concluded by research. I have nothing against individual muslims if that's what you are trying to imply.
Islamic societies are build upon to the teachings of the Quran so of course the reason is religion. They justify their actions with religion. Religion is a part of a culture so in that way you are right. After all it's all culture.
If you use this type logic you can pretty much get away with everything. Kim Jon Un's dictatorship is a small fragment compared to what is done in the name of religion. Of course there would be crazy people even without religion but you need to look at the bigger picture.
With just little changes in our history the present day could be a lot different. Your points are basically assumptions. Religion is tied with culture so one's culture would be completely different without religion.
