If you do a global word search on all historical accounts of Islam ... I'm going out on the limb ... but I'm going to predict that the words "attack", "war", "conquer", "massacre", "kill", "rule", "battle", "death", "destroy", "revenge", "blood" "contol", "convert", "unbeliever", and "army" appear more often than "plant", "grow",
"build", "design", "develop", "think", "invent", "free", "vote", "read", "write", "tolerate", "defend","learn", "peace", "live" and "commerce".

To say nothing of "jihad" and "fatwa".

Oh that's right. "Jihad" just means "struggle"--just like "Kampf" in German. It doesn't necessarily mean "murder", "kill", "war", and "death".
