Islam has committed as many atrocities at least as Christianity, not to mention Arabic civilization is far behind the west in any form of measurment or achievement, perhaps you werent aware that many modern day Islamic nations were formed on the basis of conquest and slaughter in the name of Allah, Turkey for example once belonged to the Greek people, until the Seljuk Turks invaded and settled it, Islam is on a predetermined course to attempt to proselytize through war and subterfuge until it dominates the world.

As for the modern civilized armies of the west, which you claim are evil, ever heard of the revolutionary guard ? Hezbollah ? Hamas ? the Muslim brotherhood ? all of those are military organizations with the intention of killing infidels, plain and simple, and how about the hostility towards Israel ? the suposed Islamic claim to Israel, ... wrong ... the Jewish people have inhabited the area since before Christianity and before Islam came and conquered it.
