They pledge death or conversion, so at some point the human race is going to have to deal with this problem, is some sort of apocalypse inevitable?

//Now we all pooh ourselves because we know they do not have the restraint or intelligence to know how to use them.//
Well, with the guns versus swords scenario, I suspect it was less a case of restraint on our part and more a case of their generals only needing to witness the effects of two or three volleys to realise the futility of pressing ahead with their attacks. Acknowledging defeat quickly enough for most of your menfolk to make it off the battlefield alive is part of the leader's skillset. The worst battles are the ones where they sized each other up but both sides fancied their chances. Waterloo slaughtered about 25,000 of each side but the Allies had practically no choice but to make sure Napoleon was stopped in his tracks.
But, back on topic, one chilling part is the ISIS claim of responsibility which they addressed to the "French crusaders". So never mind supposed payback for the vagiaries of the British Empire, they won't even let go of the events of 900 years ago. (This may or may not be a canard and contemporary involvement may have been given the crusader epithet, by them).

When did someone ask you for conversion or death?

It's worse than that, keyplus. The choices are
Conversion
Taxation without representation*
Death
*Supposed to go to the poor but who knows where it could end up? The Pope is sitting on a pile of gold and silver items big enough to feed the world's starving but doesn't make any efforts to cash any of it in, by all accounts. Centuries of tithes and we wrote off a few centuries' worth of subscriptions by splitting away. Which is why the CofE is always grubbing around for roof repair funds.
Atheism is so low maintainance. :o)

It could be argued that posts like this are playing directly into the hands of ISIS. They want the West to hate and vilify Muslims.

Which means the Daily aliM serves their purposes, albeit in an unwitting, "useful idiot", way?

There is a lot to do domestically; In this morning's local (German) newspaper
a woman teacher of Jewish extraction writes how she has a class full of young Muslim children and says how she is appalled that from such young minds the vitriol they talk and text to one another, "Kill all Jews!" etc.
She says she would fear to tell them that she was from that background.
