The Pope is a pacifist. And there are many Christians who are pacifists. Find me a parallel in the Muslim world. This is all I ask.

One problem sociologists always face is ethnocentricity, i.e. attributing your own values and beliefs to another culture. In the West we value peace and equality. Are you attibuting your own biases and values on a people who don't share them?
