I think it depends on the sect of Islam -- some are more militant and 
some are not at all.  Don't recall the particulars of who believes 
what off the top of my head -- there are 72 of them according to the 
following

Islam imposes a 'duty' on its members to spread the word of God 
peacefully or not.  This is their 'struggle' (Jihad).  Centuries ago 
Christians followed a similar path (crusades) with the support of 
many church heads (Cardinals and Popes).  Hopefully, the leaders of 
Islam can bring a close to their violent method of disseminating the 
word of God sooner rather than later.
