Muslims will say it's peaceful as their fighting in defense. Which is complete nonsense in my opinion. Islam/Muslims have a long bloody history.
It's a fact. Personally, I question if Islam can ever be peaceful. Violence and hatred appears to be is entrenched in Islams history.
I don't see how that will ever change. Islamic extremism is something that generations to come will live with.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
