you thought "Islam means peace and conformity to the will of Allah"
On the surface, it does. Now lets look a little deeper.
How did Mohammed the founder, 'manifest' that 'conformity' in his own life, which forms the basis and example for every Muslim on 'how to be' those things.
-He tortured
-He murdered (in cold blood, because people 'teased' him)
-He carried out mass murder.(Banu Qurayza)
-He stole, and enslaved.
-When his wives became jealous of his unfair glowing pride at his MISStress/slave who conceived through him sleeping with her, suddenly there is a convenient revelation to shut them up, and justify him.
All of the above, became a pattern in his life and in the growth of Islam, which quickly becomes an 'Islamic State' of which he is the head and which strikes terror into all other tribes of the Arabian Peninsula
All non Muslims are given the choice of death, fleeing for their lives to the desert, or embracing Islam and serving him or 'dhimmitude' if you were Christian or Jew, where under the Charter of Omar (the first caliph after Mohammed) you were required to wear distinctive dress with special markings (Remember the Jews of Germany ?) You were not even allowed to make your grief for the dead audible to Muslims. (and 10 other rules)
That, is the Islamic founders version of what you described. I refrained from using the many colorful adjectives which 'hate sites' use in conjunction with these factual events.
Contemporary mainstream 'minority' Islam is quite 'tame' yet as you saw from my example in the link. they will still seek to impose their tradition and will on the majority. (did you read it ?)
Your verses about 'All Authority is given to me/ go make disciples' has to be balanced with "As the Father sent me, so I send you" and we look at His self sacrificing life. Muslims will rarely actually deny the events I mentioned, but they will seek to justify them "All things from God are good"
John 14.6 is valid, we all have free will.
