The Quran has existed since Common Era year 609. Have some additional directives been added to the Quran in recent times? I don't recall anywhere near current levels of fanatical, illogical, senseless violence from the followers of Islam, before this century.
? There have been holliewars conducted for the past two thousand years (and more) carried out by many religions including Islam... What makes you think this past century is any different from most of the last 20?
Because those "holy wars" were not perpetrated against citizens having coffee in France, or children attending events in the United Kingdom. Something has changed...maybe Muslim society is now embracing the darker side of Islam.
Muslims are currently out of favor when it comes to armies and empires. With out their own armies and empires that can stand up to the west they are left with only garrila tactics to continue their side of the never ending fight.

That's a pretty depressing picture of the Muslim religion, EasternShadow. Why isn't Islam LOSING followers around the world, instead of gaining them?

You mean they don't have the equivalent of a POPE? Pope Bergoglio has an "empire", but the army he oversees is more religious in nature. In this vein, Muslims have an Empire and an Army, DanDanDat.
