Due to arrogance and ignorance, most muslims don’t understand why the world is upset with them. Even those who have been educated in liberal western countries, can’t see why non-muslims feel uncomfortable with islam. Most muslims keep insisting islam is the "religion of peace". What they ignore is that historically, and currently, islam has caused more wars, more death and destruction than any other religion.
Most muslims read history very selectively. They do not see the colossal damage islam has done to world heritage, history, culture and religion. They assume that once the message of islam is delivered to a nation, they must accept it, no questions asked. They also assume that anything that came before islam was unimportant and not worth remembering or worthy of research. As a result, they miss out on not world heritage, but also their own.
Most muslims have not read the history, not atleast from the side of the victims of their invasions. They have also not read the chronicles of their own ruler, generals and warlords since the dawn of islam to realise how many millions have died, been enslaved or otherwise deprived of their life and liberty to further the cause of islam.
Islam was spread at the point of the sword and that is an undisputable fact. With the promise of victory on earth

But, the armies of islam did not have it all their way. The Mongols decimated them and

Even after conquest, not everyone submitted to the will of allah and significant
proportions of the natives continued to carry on with their ancestral religion
of Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.

Sadly, where-ever muslims rule, they destroy the native cultures. Local history is destroyed, local arts are wiped out. Bahamian Buddhas are a case in point. Local language is mixed with Arabic to create a new bastard language that does not do justice to either. Dress and food is modified to Arabic standards. Women are subjugated and forced to cover their body up, least the “faithful be incited to lust”. What does that say about muslim men if they can’t control their passions on seeing the arm or leg of a woman ? Are they so lacking in self-control ? But the arabic culture dominates and all women must cover up regardless of weather, culture or tradition.
The idea of a united muslim brother-hood is a false one. They fight internally as much as they
fight externally. There are many
sects in islam and each calls the other “heretic”. Muslims may unite to fight
non-muslims, but otherwise, they fight each other in name of their own brand of
islam, land, tribe, ethnicity etc.
Despite all the hype, there is no real unity in the muslim world. Iran Iraq war is a classic example of
how they fought each other for a long time, to the benefit of none.
Islam presents the greatest threat to the world with its doctrine of Jihad. Jihad is islam’s insistence that everyone bends to its way of thinking. Despite the fact that 1400 years on, they have not been able to convince or conquer 75 % of the world to their brand of thinking, they keep persisting, hoping that one day, people will agree - willingly or unwillingly - to their creed.
They haven’t reckoned on TIME though.
Time will consume them when petro dollars run out and they will need to
face up to the reality of living in the modern world.
