When we look at history, we can see that the world had never been peaceful in its entire existence. Since there is a lot of turmoil in the Moslem world of late, maybe we should look at the glory of the Islamic civilization and conquest. Like all religions in the world, Islam proclaim to be a religion of peace. History again and again has proved that, like any other religion of the world, there is too much of violence and blood shed, in-fighting and double crossing to justify the above.
The hey days of the Islamic empire spanned over the 8th century to 13th century AD when they hailed in many areas which would have made them more 'civilised'. Internal conflicts and animosity is the cause of their downfall. There were sporadic jubilations brought about by Mongol converts who later formed the the Ottoman Empire in Byzatnium, the Farsi empire and the Moghuls in India.
Even though religion seem to be an unifying lubricant amongst men, the medieval animal instinct in them try to differentiate each other via colour and creed.
The Arabs, being jealous and disgusted with the supposedly the 'lesser holy' Moslem, never like the idea of Turks leading the Moslem world. When the tide was low in World War 1, the Turks made a pact with the Germans whereas the Arabs with their enemies the British. This animosity goes on till today with the British and Americans having much influence in the Arab world. Coincidentally, the invaluable black gold is in abundance there. How convenient!
