Historical facts shows that Muslim militants existed first

If anyone stated that Muslims were mild for the past 14 centuries and today's problems is due to a small group of militants, they are sadly mistaken. History says otherwise. Also, such statements shows that they have not been with Muslims long enough to understand them. It always has been Muslim Militants who have been around for 14 centuries, NOT mild Muslims. If you have studies Islamic history like I have, you could know that Muhammad have NEVER lived in Peace ever since he have started to spread Islam.

Today's militants exist because PEACE contradicts their Islamic way of living. Muslims CANNOT live in Peace, because Islam have not taught them how to live in Peace with Non-Muslims. To them, Non-Muslims are the enemies - who could work in silent or in open to turn them away from Islam. Militant Muslims daydream of heaven, and they have rejected the World. They are trying to find any way possible to die, and fighting the Non-Muslims are just one way of dying. THIS IS FACT. No matter what excuses people like Shruti states, this is FACT.
