After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him and knew his religion best immediately fell into war with each other.
Fatima, Muhammads favorite daughter, survived the early years among the unbelievers at Mecca safe and sound, yet died of stress from the persecution of fellow Muslims only six months after her father died. She even miscarried Muhammads grandchild after having her ribs broken by the man who became the second caliph.
Fatimas husband Ali, who was the second convert to Islam and was raised like a son to Muhammad, fought a civil war against an army raised by Aisha, Muhammads favorite wife and one whom he had said was a perfect woman. 10,000 Muslims were killed in a single battle waged less than 25 years after Muhammads death.
Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered. All of them were among Muhammads closest companions. The third caliph was killed by allies of the son of the first (who was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the skin of a dead donkey and burned). The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to death after a bitter dispute with the fifth. The fifth caliph went on to poison one of Muhammads two favorite grandsons. The other grandson was later beheaded by the sixth caliph.

- Abu Bakr ibn Qhuhafah (632634)Muhammad's f-in-law&father of Muhammad's most beloved wife, 'Aisha, Abu Bakr, was named the khalifa or "Successor" of Muhammad. Abu Bakr had proven himself to be a military genius & immediately called for a military expedition against the Byzantine empire

- Ali ibn Abi Talib (656661)
- Hasan ibn Ali (661)
- Muawiyah I (661680): Founder of the Umayyad dynasty The infighting and power struggles between Muhammads family members, closest companions and their children only intensified with time. Within 50 short years of Muhammads death, even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal Muslim war
And thats just the fate of those within the house of Islam!
Islam is Peaceful (/s)...to/with no one, no where, not even amongst themselves, at ANY time in it's history ...starting from it's inception.
Know Islam, No Peace
NO Islam, Know Peace
