State of Islam

I would like to ask a question after your Berwick News headline of 25 September which stated ‘This is not Islam’.
My question is, well, what is Islam?
I see locally a young man try to stab two policemen and then hear a Muslim women state “that he made a mistake”.
All over the world I hear about and see atrocities happening in the name of Islam.
In Africa we see Muslims attempting to take over different countries and inflict Sharia law on the people.
I see millions of Muslims exported to every country in the world in an attempt to change these countries by force.
I see a people who denigrate their own females and again wonder is this Islam?
Muslims are taking over large parts of the major cities of Europe in those areas they will not allow couples to walk hand in hand.
I see a people who don’t want to integrate into society as I don’t see them at sports functions or charity relays.
When I say ‘good morning’ to them on my morning walks I am ignored.
This is what I see of Islam, so am I wrong?
