You genuinely do not understand Islamic history ... John Quincy Adams summarized in best almost 200 years ago when he said "...the essence of the Islamic doctrine is violence and lust ... to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature."

The PC crowd, such as Think Progress etc, likes to deny the obvious. Read your history. Mohammed was the Charles Manson of his age, except he had a huge army at his disposal. They killed or enslaved millions. His followers today are simply doing what they were instructed to do back in the 7th century AD.
