As with all holy books (except for *very* short ones!) they can be made to "prove" anything the reader wants.
Sorry, where in the Koran does it say that "A woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness" or are you conflating the Koran with Sharia law?
And, of course, similar atrocities have *NEVER* been committed by *ANY* other armies of *ANY* other countries... 
It's very easy to "prove" how "barbaric" a certain group is if you pick and choose your "evidence"... |
You are of course correct that many if not most religions, even christian ones promote a 'struggle' against the non believers or infidels, (erm but aren't all religions just a different form of worship of a deity called god or allah or whatever nonsense).
The big difference is, it is evident Islam is on the increase and is far more vigorously promoted today than christianity and further that 'struggle' is, by all the evidence, far more insidious and often violent.
Islam IMO does appear to promote itself, via the many vociferous fundamentalists, much more aggressively amongst not only its 'followers' (to ensure continued compliance) but even more so against the 'non believers' i.e. the west.
Of course it is easy to choose the 'evidence' to prove the barbarity, but it appears to me it is the many fundamentalists that choose these paths of 'struggle against the infidels', I merely point out the documented reasons they use.
