True enough, Islam is not about terrorism.
Islam is about Submission.
That's what it means, right?
The idea is that EVERYONE will submit to Allah.
Not to "some god equivalent to Allah" but Allah.
The one, the only, whose prophet is Muhammed, etc.
Terrorism, as one face of the Jihad, is one such means by which this will occur.
Islam does allow for non-Muslims to live in Muslim lands, however, they are subject to significant restrictions, cannot build houses of worship, cannot celebrate major religious festivals, have to pay a tax (which can be 1/3-1/2 of one's salary plus other applicable secular taxes), and if there is any suspicion that an attempt is being made to convert a Muslim, one can be imprisoned, punished, and even killed.
