I took the question "is it offensive" to be asking whether the film could be objected to by people who do not like it. There have been protests in the Islamic world and it has been called offensive. The questioner posed an either or question. I said it did not offend me.
That is not the same as saying terrorist atrocities do not offend me. They do. I was answering that the film was not offensive, not that terrorism wasn't offensive to me.
Then you deny the Koran influences these people Er, no I don't. In my first post I wrote
"The same with al qaeda saying the Koran tells them to kill their enemies.

I have no sympathy with Islam. I would rather it didn't exist as well. I do not agree with much in the Koran. I would say the same about Christianity.
But I do not want to fight 1.2billion people (correct figure this time) who have it as their faith. I have met many muslims abroad, and have friends in this country that are followers. They differ greatly. They are not all the same. You seem to be saying they are, and that they are all bad (because they follow a bad book).
The people who commit terrorist atrocities and the preachers that glorify them do not represent all muslims even if they and you think they do.
I know you do not like my analogies, but here is another one. The Christian nuns who helped in the genocide massacres in Rwanda did so while working as Christian Missionaries. The Bible was their tool. This is not a reason to believe that all Christians would practice genocide if given the chance and that Christianity should be fought.
