Nazis were very religious and partly used religion to justify many attacks. Even if the middle east was not Islamic, the same things would happen - but instead people would have found other justifications. The current situation that is in the middle east largely stems from creation of Israel and the invasion of Iraq.
Muslims are extremely religious and devoted, religion is mixed in with everything - whether a person is "secular" or not. Islam gives us fierce determination and power; and its up to the person, who wishes to use it for good or bad. People will manipulate uneducated individuals by citing verses from the Quran, but to an educated Muslim; he/she will easily know what the Quran is meaning in that specific verse. An example:
"Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war. " ~ Quran
To a naked eye (like yours), this verse can be interpreted as a declaration of constant war upon "disbelievers".
But, people do not take in context the date, situation and event. Jihadist recruiters use these techniques.
This verse is talking about a SPECIFIC group of "disbelievers" who were responsible for committing massive atrocities against not just Muslims but others as well.
The verse above is also meant to be backed by this verse:
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.

Quran 2:190
But Jihadists will only show you verses without the Hadith and other Quranic verses meant to further elaborate.
I have studied all religions closely but they all lead me to Islam. There is nothing in the world that can challenge Islam's purity.
Islam had a renaissance 600 years before European renaissance. What is going on the world has nothing to do with Islam; rather more to do with Western interference. Islam was never like this and still isnt, if there is a power vacuum - powerful people will try to fill it, and will use any methods of justifications.
Yes, and they make up around 1% of the Refugee population; also there was war in FATA province (not any more); and many Iranians are escaping religious persecution.
Yes, but does Islam tell you to kill minorities? If that was the case, there would be no Christians in the Balkans, Hindus in south Asia, Jews in Levant, other religions. Thus, ISIS has no rights to represent Islam. They take everything to a whole level; Islam makes educate for all obligatory - they do not provide education to women; Islam only requires women to cover their hair; they force women to cover their faces. They turn every sunnah (recommendations) obligatory.
The First Caliphates were all democracies.
