How can the message of Muhammad (pbuh) who was sent as mercy to mankind become a source of horror and fear? How can Islam inspire thousands of youth to dedicate their lives to killing others? We are supposed to invite people to Islam not murder them.

As far as I have learned in recent weeks, the prophet Mohammed was a murdering military conquerer and a rapist. Correct me if I am wrong about that.

I am not a Christian, but I don't recall Jesus taking captives by force, spreading his word by the sword, and forcing women into his bed.

Jesus did not.

Unfortunately, the Church in violation of his example and principles did just what you describe, for the better part of 1,600 years.

You are not wrong.
