Good people see how people get murdered over the globe whilst the murderers are screaming "God is Great!". Seems like quite the invitation to your religion, don't you think?

Theres too much to explain, and I don't expect you to read that much. But we don't know the context of those videos and there's multiple possibilities:
- They could be hypocrites who call themselves Muslims, like IDF soldiers who were caught aiding ISIS. Not to mention that ISIS could be an acronym for the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.
- They could be actual terrorists, although they would also be hypocrites, not Muslims, since Islam forbids that. And usually its sectarians like wahhabists, sunni, shia, etc.
- They could be defending themselves from an aggressive army and yelling "God is Great" when they succeed, which would be perfectly just.
We just don't know. So we shouldn't assume, and instead, investigate Islam on our own by reading the Qur'an as honestly as possible and asking God for guidance. Then it doesn't matter what image is portrayed, only what you understand to be true.
And there's much more to be said like how the media is biased and uses Islam as a scapegoat for their agendas like invading Iraq, which even CNN admits was for drugs and oil, not "9/11 justice" like everyone was duped into believing.
So I invite you to Islam by the method I mentioned, not by what you see on the news. Or you could ask me personally, but its best to ask God, the Fully-Aware, All-Knowing, Most Wise. He doesn't speak to us directly but He will inform you if He wills. Peace be upon you.
