Islam is not a religion of war and terror in Religion
Historically, Islam appeared as an ideology aimed to unite the lands conquered by warlord named Mohammad in order to bring stability to them. Mohammad learned from Alexander's failure, who quickly conquered an enormous amount of land, but failed to address the problem of unity, leading to his empire rapidly collapsing upon his death - and decided that a single ideology, named religion, promoting unity under a single moral code and restrictive legal system. Islam turned out to be a convenient tool in uniting nations and armies, and was subsequently regularly used with this purpose in mind.
However, as in case of every other religion, over the centuries different interpretations of Islam started appearing. Some of them were even more violent and controlling than the original Mohammad's idea - others, however, were peaceful, promoting love and compassion. While generally the same holy book (Quran) is used as a guidance, various sentences of Quran have different interpretations, some literal, and others more philosophical and even imaginative.
So, is Islam a religion of war and terror? Yes and no. It really depends on the religious school following Islam, on the individual following Islam, on the devotion of the follower to Islam and so on.
There are various verses that approve of the use of violence towards disbelievers and non-Muslims.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? " ~Epicurus
"Americanism not Globalism, will be our credo." ~Donald Trump
"A communist is like a crocodile" ~Winston Churchill
