How, you ask? Have you heard of the term "zealot"? Unlike other religions that evolved through time, Islam is still the barbaric, violent religion that it has been from day one, centuries ago.
I am sick and tired of hearing from Muslim community leaders that Islam is such a "peaceful" religion(!). Well, thank Allah Islam is a "peaceful" religion. Can you imagine if it weren't??!
It's time for Muslims to take accountability for their religion and culture. Stop spinning, and address the fact that the Muslim culture is one of the most oppressive and violent cultures, against its own people, and certainly against other cultures.
For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?
It would be to the benefit of the World to rid of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Syrian and Iranian regime. It must be done to finally have a chance for peace in the world.

I do not think Muslims believe this! They do, however believe that Islam is superior to Judaism or Christianity because the Prophet Muhammad (born 570 A.D.) was the last prophet to speak the word of God! Therefore, he kind of updated the word of God! Since he came after all the prophets in the Old Testament and after Jesus! Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Muslims believe that Jesus was a holy prophet like Mohammed!

Adam (the first person) was Muslim because he worshipped and submitted to the will of God. It may have not been called 'Islam' until the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), but its the same. Islam is just a name. The act of worshipping one God and submitting to his will has been around since Adam.

Because for many muslims, anyone who submits to the will of God/Allah is a muslim. That classifies the people recorded in the bible all as muslims to varying degrees.

Because the first person was kicked out of Paradise due to breaking God's rules?

Ha HA. Just one of so many contradictions in their religion. (e.g. see "thou shall not kill".
