Forrest,
Sorry to say but you manipulate words to suit yourself. If you really want to see a religion, see it in its entirety and dont just take out words and manipulate them. Islam is a way of life, a method by which one should one should lead their life. The quran also mentions that there is no force in religion no one can force you to follow anything you do not wish to.

Unbelievers are people who threaten our faith and are willing to use any means to defame our faith. I suppose you would do the same if someone attacked your religion. you would fight, you would wage war if your religion was threatened.

The violence of a few groups should not be the basis on what you judge an entire religion. You see bad because you want to see bad in islam and blame all the troubles of the world and yourself on something. We dont judge every american by the actions of its government. Its goverment has killed asssasinated and destroyed millions of people and countries throughout its history but we dont blame americans as say they are the reflection of america. America covers itself by pretending to be benefactors whereas all they want is their own profit regardless of how many innocent people die.

Muslim are seen as 'terrorists' because they dont wear uniforms and wage war in an 'unauthorized' way. So forrest ,just relax read more about islam see all the sides and dont approach the religion with a predetermined view. I being a muslim is telling you to have an open mind. Now isnt that ironic

May the lord show you the light,
