Since the early 7th century, when Islam was introduced in Mecca, it has employed Jihad-driven offensive (not defensive) military (not peaceful) means to take over the entire Arabian Peninsula, expand throughout the Middle East and Turkey, surge to northwest Africa and Spain and establish itself in parts of Asia and Africa.
Most Arab/Muslim regimes rise/lose power through violence, subversion, and terrorism, as recently demonstrated by the civil wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
Since the 7th century, Islam has employed domestic, regional, and global violence against “infidels” and mostly against other “believers.”
The Quran and Sharia (“divine law”) have critical weight in setting the strategy and tactics (including Taquiyya – diplomatic dissimulation) of many Muslim regimes, such as Iran’s Ayatollahs, the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey’s Erdogan, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Authority.
