>>over the past years, there have been many instances of inhuman behavior we, as a nation, appear to have ignored. On the other hand, we have people suggesting that if we had minded our own business more, we wouldn't be a target.<<

That's how they drive people crazy. Demand that they do two completely antithetical things at the same time. Called a Double-Bind or Cross. Closely related to Catch-22. Also closely related to Blaming the Victim.

I happened to learn that Muhammad followed Christ, thus updated the prior messages rather than the reverse. It seems odd that much of what I've seen about radical islam beliefs (ie rape of infidels is ok) would seem to be contradicted by what is presented.

Info

Jesus (peace be on him) was the second-last prophet of God. He foretold the coming of the last Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). While the message of the earlier messengers, including Jesus was limited, prophet Muhammad's message and mission is universal and will remain so till the end of this world. Belief in Islam means

Belief in One God
belief in all of God's messengers
belief in all the books sent down to His prophets. These books include Torah and Gospel (not the Bible)
belief in the existence of angels
belief in the Day of Judgement and Life after Death, heaven and hell
