"So what is the truth about the Crusades? Scholars are still working some of that out. But much can already be said with certainty. For starters, the Crusades to the East were in every way defensive wars. They were a direct response to Muslim aggression—an attempt to turn back or defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands."

I did a google on islamic led wars and this came up.
It seems quite legit at first browse, maybe it will help?
Ian the 3rd Sobieski kicked the Turks in the butt when the tried to ride north.
For your consideration.

Most people don't know or remember that the reason for the U.S. Army adopting the M1911A side arm in .45ACP was because we were engaged in a war with Islam beginning in 1918 or thereabouts, in the Philippines.
The Moro fighters attacked army officers with swords. The officer would empty his .38 into the attacker, and then get is head cut off. Pretty ugly.
The Colt .45 put a quick end to all that nonsense.
In the 20th century alone:
1. Muslim Turkey has expelled approximately 1,500,000 Greeks from its empire in the east and replaced them with Turks. They have massacred approximately 2 million Armenians and replaced them with Turks in the west.
2. Muslim Turkey has invaded and occupied northern Cyprus, displacing the Greeks living there.
3. Muslim northern Sudan has conquered much of southern Sudan, literally enslaving its Christian and pagan population.
4. Indonesian imperialism has occupied all of non-Islamic western New Guinea and incorporated into Indonesia.
5. Muslim Indonesia has invaded and conquered Christian East Timor with horrible loss of life.
6. This very day, Muslim Indonesia is attempting to destroy Christianity in what used to be called the Celebes.
7. A half-dozen Arab countries have fought two to four wars (depending how you count) in an attempt to destroy Israel and occupy its territory, and is currently continuing the attempt this very day with the publicly voted consent of 55 of the world's 57 Islamic nations.
8. For no good reason, Muslim Libya has blown up western aircraft, killing many civilians.
9. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist war of aggression, invaded and occupied Muslim Kuwait.
10. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people.
11. Muslim Albania, this very minute, is attempting to enlarge its borders at Christian Macedonia's expense.
12. Muslim Northern Nigeria has been (and is currently) an aggressor against the Christian south.
13. Muslims expelled approximately 800,000 Jews from their homelands between 1947 and 1955.
14. During Jordan's occupation of the West Bank, the kingdom undertook an unsuccessful attempt to make Jerusalem a Muslim city by forcing out approximately 10,000 Christian inhabitants.
I would suggest going to the US State Department website. On it they have travel advisories which tell US citizens which countries to be cautious about visiting and which ones to avoid all together. I think you will find the list contains mostly places where Muslim radicals are making war against the current government.
Hi, I did the legwork here is the link to the US Department of State's Current Travel Warnings.

One way you might go at the debate is to get a world map. Mark all the boundaries of Muslim states. Then put a red mark around all the adjoining states which have Islamic fanatics bombing innocent civilians.
The red marked states will be easy to isolate. Just put a red mark around every country that borders on a Muslim state and you can't go wrong.
