I'm afraid they may succeed with this. We have radical on our own side who keep on saying "we are at war with Islam"

Is the victim of an aggressor an aggressor himself just because the viuxctim declares that his attacker staged an aggression against him? Is the victim of a rapist the same like the rapist? Is a sober observer of Muslim terrorism, counting the sober number of terror victims stockpiling up in the name of Islam, of Christianity, of Buddhist faith, a radical himself when he concludes that Islam is at war with the rest of mankind and that it does not compare in scale, in no way, to terror done in the name of Buddha, Christ?
I'm really tired of this cynical and underhanded argument that if you label your attacker an attacker, you are not better than him, or if you fight fire with fire, you are not better than the perpetrator, or if you point out the ideological basis in a terrorist's motivation you are declared an XYZ-phobe yourself or a hawk or an intolerant and discriminating racist. To me, there is a crystal clear differenc ebetween attacker and defender, perpetrator and victinm, and I do not accept the two to be treated the same.
What this habit of always relativiosing Musalim terrorism expresses, is this: self-hate by Westerners, and the desire of always accuse the West. Many people have been taught to feel a deep-rooting disgust for their own cultural, historically grown identity, or better that of the clture they have grown up in, and it leads them to self-denial, and self-destruction. The West is eternally bad, and the foreign - no matter which foreign - is good already just because it is not the West.
Islam never was a tolerant, multicultural affair, or ideology, it was designed to excuse endless attempts to overthrow the others and to make them submit. Submission is what Muhammad aimed at and wanted, not coexistence. Ruling alone over evertyhing, that is what Islam is about. No peace as long as there is something left that is not Islam's - that is the ultimate goal. Peace by wiping out everybody not submitting and obeying to Islam.
That is what the scripture is and what Muhammad was about, and nothing else. Muhammad was no sentimental pacifist, no early Ghandi - he was a warlord, a desert mandit and murderer nd bringer of war, he stole, he plundere,d he slaughtered and raped. I do not care the desperate brain gymnastics of this or that "Muslim" sect trying to paint it nicely in an attempt to not needing to admit that it is following a brutal, totalitarian blueprint designed to enslave all mankind - no matter how long it takes. Siuch sects may be anything, but they are neither honest, nor are the Muslim. Period.
Do not want to see something in Islam, something you hope for, or that you wish to see in it so that you must not accept confronting it. Just open your eyes, and see what it is.
Do not want to see this or that in there. Just see the thing for what it is.
You should feel horror then.
