No, they did not.

There are 1+ billion Muslims worldwide. There are over 5 million in France alone. If all Muslims actually supported the vile, disgusting acts that you speak of, Europe would be in pure chaos! Just imagine if 5 million "terrorists" went on a rampage in France. The fact that such terrible incidents are few and far in between is proof that the vast majority of Muslims have nothing to do with it.

Ironically, most of the perpetrators of the recent terrorist attacks in Europe were quite assimilated into local culture. They drank, did not pray, and didn't actually know the basics of Islam in general! I believe that they were easy targets for recruiters because of their lack of knowledge. Moreover, I'm not sure how you can call someone who doesn't know how to practice a religion a follower of said religion.
