What non-Muslims do not understand about Muslim extremism/violence

Many public and non-public figures in Western Society comment on Islam and the violence waged in its, but do so in a very opaque way. They point to various passages in the Quran that not only encourage, but mandate followers to wage war on the Kuffar, or the non-believers, without acknowledging the fact that the Bible contains more violent passages.
This is not to say that violence committed by any religion is not abhorrent. All religions have two-faces and their fair share of moderates and zealots. What many non-Muslims do not take into consideration is the context with which violent acts in the name of Islam are committed.
In the early centuries of Islam, the goal of Muslim violence was to conquer, subjugate and promote the spread of the faith as well as ensure its survival in a very competitive, and spiritual world where the faith had to compete with more established religions e.g. Christianity, Judaeism, Zoroastrianism etc. Those days are long gone, and Muslim violence now stems mostly from political motivations and frustration at a world dominated by Western culture.
How do you suppose Christians would deal with a world that was decidedly slanted towards Muslim cultural values? Imagine no Christian majority nations had the political or military power to resist Muslim intervention?
Violence is bad, no matter why it is committed. Maybe if some took the time to really understand why these acts are committed, they can be stopped.

Who gives a shit? It will never happen.
You goatfuckers keep on pushing and pushing, and not so much as a trace that you ever existed will remain on this planet.
Mark my words.

That is actually a very profound question, and you couldn't have conjured up a less self-infantalizing response.

islam is a political doctrine to control the masses. It's goal is world domination. It is not even close to being a religion. If a person practices islam they are a terrorist. It's not even debatable.

Except Christians no longer act those violent passages out.
2000 years later Muslims still stone/murder/rape victims like it’s no big deal.

Islam is not a religion, it's a battle plan by some barbarian so he could rape children in comfort.
Modern baby rapers and power seekers merely view it as a convenient way to dominate others and hide their crimes.

The Judeo-Christian bible is a book of history. The Koran is an instruction manual.
