“The belief that Islam is a peaceful religion and that Islamic terrorists have twisted that faith to unrecognizable extremes is a false interpretation that surrounds today’s narrative regarding Islam”, writes Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch. The greater overall threat this misconception poses is neglected because of fear and outright denial to acknowledge what or who our enemy truly is. The more we lie to ourselves and allow our politicians, media and government officials to lie to us, the more we enable terrorists to become embolden.
Spencer further notes, “we cannot possibly defeat an enemy whom we refuse to understand, refuse to study, refuse to listen to because he explains why he is our enemy in terms that we can’t bear to hear”.
The public discourse in our country that regards Islam as no different from Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and others is a lie perpetrated against an American public whom is unaware of who their enemy is and what their goals truly are.

So we're waiting for your intelligent summary proving this all wrong.
The Islamophobe Robert Spencer that's all that needs to be said.
in the history of human kind, there were many crusades all over the western world but none have scored as much death as Islam did as it created 270 Million human dead bodies in 1400 Years through expansionist and dominating attitude. Islam cannot coexist with any other religion in the world expect it wants do dominate any other religion. True to its nature there is no definition for human or humanity its sacred book "KORAN" except believers and non believers of Islam. - What Every Human Must Know!
Islam - 270 Million people killed in 1400 Years - What Every Human Must Know!

I have posted proof that Islamic terrorism is largely a Wahhabi radical phenomenon since 1978
Can anyone name any terrorists before that?
The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitanian War and the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two Barbary Wars between the United States and the four North African Muslim states known collectively as the "Barbary States". Three of these were nominal provinces of the Ottoman Empire, but in practice autonomous: Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis. The fourth was the independent Sultanate of Morocco.[2] The cause of the war was pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute.

Islam was very violent long before that.
The founding fathers wrote about it in length hundreds of years ago.
They just didn't have IEDS and AKs back then.

It’s easy to talk about the sins of people one has learned to hate
The human problem is that we never talk about the sins of those we love
