Yes they target soldiers.
Imagine saying “the Christians” sexually abuse children, or “the Christians” hanged blacks in the south. You cannot generalize everyone in the religion because some take a violent, radical interpretation of it.
Since islam is just as much a political way of life as it is a religious way, it is all imposing and all invasive - right down to their potty behavior - yes, you can say just exactly as you write.
No, they did not in China, nor do they in Israel attack the military. they only fight the military when forced to do so - basically, after a long time of continual attacks against the citizenry. And ‘islamic militants’ are muslims. muslims are jihadists. We are the ones that differentiate - muslims do not do so. In fact, jihad is the primary duty of ALL muslims. some use different tactics and one of those tactics is deception.
Here is a good writeup on how they put a veil of holiness on death and destruction.
Centrality of jihad in islam
Italian writer Oriana Fallaci, said: “A moderate Islam does not exist. It does not exist because there is no difference between Good Islam and Bad Islam. There is Islam and that it the end of it. Islam is the Koran, and nothing other than the Koran.“
(Oriana Fallaci”The Force of Reason” post-script page 305 February 2006)]
And to expand on the above quote - if you read the koran and at least peruse the hadiths you will find that this is indeed true.
If you read the history of Lebanon, the Balkans, Southeast Asia, even the history of the Israeli/muslim conflict etc you will find that it is common for them to start the violence, then when their numbers are rather low they will claim victimhood, and when their numbers increase to a certain number - basically they feel more secure the violence increases, if the population fights back the muslims will claim the others started it and it is a never ending war.

It goes into what my signature also goes into - the increase in the muslim population also has an increase of violence directed towards the non-muslim population.
Do I wish it were not true?! YES! unfortunately, it is the muslims who are doing this with the help of the so called majority of ‘moderates’. there are indeed some who are against sharia law, and against the violence, but they are right in it with us as far as this phenomenon of islamic imperialism. This phenomenon is not only happening in china, but Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, Canada, the Balkans, Russia, Australia, etc. their goal is to establish sharia law, not necessarily convert us - to subjugate us. You have to read THEIR texts and stop listening to the da’wa of muslims who only post the abrogated passages of their texts.
Da’wa: Definition:
In Islam, da’wa means a “call” or “invitation,” and has been used to refer to a person being “called” to follow Islam. However, it has developed into the idea of a “mission” or “propaganda,” either in a political or religious sense.
Actually Da’wa is considered to be some type of “Jihad” its called “The Word Jihad” (aka Jihad Alkalema) , per (Quran 25:52) and the instructions of Muhammed in this Hadith:
