Islam is a misunderstood religion because of media portrayal, 'hand-picking' by media of atypical self-righteous and sadly misguided Muslims because the media know that humans in general have the weakness to generalise and therefore they know how to give Islam a bad name and so they knowingly try to take humans away from God's Light that is Islam. If islam is practices the way it should be, it is a key to paradise and thus Peace for the soul.
Fear? What fear. Are you aware of a document called the Lumen Gentium? Actually I only just found out about this. It is a document produced by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1963). This is actually a document that undertakes a critical examination of false judgements made on Islam and "opposes the wide-spread notion of 'Islam, religion of fear' to 'Islam, religion of love' - love of one's neighbour based on faith in God." This very same document also says "The Muslims profess the faith of Abraham and worship with us the sole merciful God, who is the future judge of men on the Day of Reckoning....". Furthermore, the document also says: Allah is the only word that Arabic-speaking Christians have for God".
For more info read: 'The Bible The Qur'an and Science: The Holy Scriptures Examined in the Light of Modern Knowledge' by Dr Maurice Bucaille, p 123-124. This is online:

Because it is true. Islam means peace. These Al-Qaeda people are crazy. They think they need to forcefully spread Islam. People have done this in the past. It is like when Jim Jones convinced 9,000 people to commit suicide. That made people in other countries think bad about Christianity. The true point of Islam is that you don't do greed. You try to give your life to Allah (God). Spend every moment, not thinking about yourself, but thinking of the rest of Allah's creation.

Maybe some of them actually believe it, rather than believing their own eyes. Fear is what typically drives religion, the greater the fear the greater the degree of devoutness.

Because some Muslims feel like their is a lot of hatred towards Islam these days. So they are trying to tell people there is no reason to hate them basically.

I don't think the five young men who crushed themselves into the criminal Bentagon know fear.

Because all Muslims do not know what Qur'an really says.
