Would any Muslims here please care to explain...?

...How their faith is the Religion of Peace, given the actions of one of their kind on a train from Holland to France, who was thwarted by the absolute heroism of UN-ARMED American Marines?

    Religion has nothing to do with it my friends, we all know religion teach a good lesson right? Including Islam, all human are same accept one thing, their faith. Other than that, all is same, even there is a Muslim who love power and money in this world just like non Muslim, so don't worry, all human including Muslim also will be judge in the judgement day, maybe there is a group who will gets a special treatment from God but yeah it is minority. About your question, i don't know who's fault is but yeah fault is fault, even they were Muslim or non Muslim, so hope they will regret what they have done. Not for me but for own good. Always remember God is watching. Maybe in this world we can escape from being judging but in afterlife?

    Islam itself is clearly not peaceful. Like most other Abrahamic religions, it's extremely divisive and violent. That being said, most Muslims are not violent. Thankfully, most have chosen to "interpret" their religion in such a way that it conforms to modern life.The fact that some of them are violent doesn't mean that Muslims in general are. Lots of Christians have done violent stuff too, does that mean Christianity is not a peaceful religion?

    If you look at the life of Muhammad, there is quite a bit of violence, war and subjugation. Whenever you want to know about a religion, you should look at the example set by the founder of the religion. If you look at the example of Muhammad's life versus Jesus' life, or the life of Buddha, there is a marked difference.

    Islam means "peace through submission." If you refuse to submit....

    I don't know who came up with that notion. Islam gives spiritual peace and tranquility. However, Muslims are not pacifists, Muslims are commanded to follow divine law by the Creator. When planes bomb Muslims, Muslims will retaliate. Likewise, when Muslims are oppressed and religiosity repressed, they will retaliate. It is survival. You see marines as "heroes" and you support them with your money. Muslims see your marines as murderers and you are supporting them with money. So they will attack you and your marines. Do you understand?

    Every single day at least one suicide bombing, every day countless other atrocities. We should nuke Mecca.
