It is true that throughout islams’s history there have been episodes where the local culture / religion has been swept away in a year or 2 by a violence. THat’s a shame becauce 99.9% of muslims are observant, peaceful people. I remember one time in India at a railway station a group of 4 muslim men offered to watch my backpack while I go get something to eat. I could tell instantly that these guys were totally straight my belonging would be fine. This was a side of islam not often mentioned by the press, a strict code of conduct which is all about self control.
Maybe the ‘pureness’ of islam ( dedication, praying 5 times a day, food / dress laws etc ) make it ideal for the fanatical element to go that one step furthur and see the obliteration of other less observant religions as a good thing.
