The Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Al-Amin Husseini was an Arab nationalist. He helped bring about Arab nationalism in the form of Baath Party and Young Egypt Party. Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, and Osama bin Laden were his students. Arab nationalism peaked during the Cold War and started to wane by the late 1970s. Terrorism was a problem in the Middle East in the 1960s to 1970s, which at the time were Arab nationalists. These Arab nationalists by the late 1970s to early 1980s embraced radical Islam. Saddam Hussein incorporated Islam mixed with Arab nationalism. Osama bin Laden formed Al-Qaeda in 1979 and allowed non-Arab Muslims to join, something Saddam Hussein did not like. Muslim terrorists is just an evolution of Arab nationalism, which is rooted in Nazism and Communism.
