That was not me saying it... it was George Bernard Shaw.
He said dictatorship  in his time where it did not have  a negative impact.
If he would use today's language he would have said, head of state.

I have been a Muslim for 13 years now.   Islam is a beautiful religion, and it is rooted in truth, as it is not a religion named after any person, place or time; but rather it is the religion of the creation submitting to the Creator.  The sun and the moon are both "Muslim" because they submit to the Creator and follow the course prescribed by the Creator.  

Islam is also a deep spiritual practice, as it involves 5 daily prayers, fasting, and a once in a life time pilgrimage to Mekkah.  All acts of worship that challenge the believer throughout their life, and inspire them to seek knowledge and achieve discipline.

To answer your first question, Islam is both peaceful and violent.  Islam is peaceful in the sense that through it's meditation (thikr), it's prayers, and other practices it brings peace of mind to the believer.   However, there are verses in the Qu'ran that suggest a right to self-defense...

5:45

We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers.


^^You see how the above verse appears to allow a violent response yet at the same time encourages peace?  

If you are interested in Islam or becoming a Muslim there is a supplication that you can make to Allah.  Basically asking God to guide you to the right decision, and if God puts something into your heart, then it becomes your responsibility to act upon it...

2:186

When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way.
