Yes it does apply do modern day Muslims. Unfortunately, there are extremists that are killing in the name of religion. The "peaceful" Muslims can't really do a whole lot to take a stand either. Take a look at the United States. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Muslims in the U.S. have had a pretty difficult time. How do you expect someone that is discriminated against by a whole nation to take a stand for what they believe in, when what they believe in is part of the reason they are being discriminated against? It is a religion of peace, ask any Muslim in the U.S. and they will tell you that. Like I said before, it's what you hear about it that gives it a bad name.
If everything was solved by reason and thinking only, the world could be a much more dangerous place. Not everyone may have good morals like you, and might result to stealing and violence to get what they want or need. It sounds crazy, but some people need religion to help keep them on the right track.
Back on the topic of your thread, nobody is going to be able to prove that god is real, just like you can not prove that gravity is real.

Lol if gravity isn't
real than how are you standing on your two feet without floating off into space? Now you're just being dumb.
Religion certainly isn't contributing to the peace of the world, it actually has a negative effect, so you can only imagine it would be better without it.
And it's only human nature that some people are violent or want to do bad things, and if religion is the only thing keeping someone from behaving like that then they need to seek help and join the rest of the modern 21st century.
Ethnic groups in the past have proven they can stand up for themselves I don't see why Muslims can't do the same. I guess they don't care that extremists represent their religion and convey a distorted image for the rest of them.
