ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF SELF DEFENSE and It's not exclusively for faith

That's right folks.
ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF SELF DEFENSE and it's not exclusively for faith

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "He who dies while defending his property is a martyr; he who dies in defence of his own life is a martyr; and he who dies on defense of his faith is a martyr, he who dies in defence of his family is a martyr (Hadith)

Even defending property (not just faith) can be considered as act of heroism

A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What shall I do if someone comes to me with the intention of taking away my property?" He replied, "Do not hand over it to him." The man asked, "What shall I do if he fights me?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Then fight him." "What will be my position in the Hereafter if he has killed me?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "In that case you are a martyr." The man asked: "What if I killed him?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "He will be in the Hell- fire." (Hadith)

Why, cause Islam extremely honour one's right and rights of the others.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah forgives every sin of a martyr, except his debt."

And yet, there are those who still questions, is Islam an offensive religion?? Read:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Do not wish for an encounter with the enemy. Pray to Allah to grant you safety; (but) when you encounter them, show patience." (Hadith)

If they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then GOD gives you no excuse to fight them (Quran)

Do not say to one who offers you peace, "You are not a believer," seeking the spoils of this world. For GOD possesses infinite spoils. Remember that you used to be like them, and GOD blessed you. (Quran)

But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace. And trust in God! For He is the one who hears and knows all things. (Quran)

Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them KINDNESS and deal with them JUSTLY; surely Allah loves the doers of justice. (Quran)

If Islam offensive and barbaric as hate-mongers accuse, why would Islam promote peace, just, kindness?

Virtue and evil are not equal. If you replace evil habits by virtuous ones, you will certainly find that your enemies will become your intimate friends. (Quran)

(Verily Allah enjoins justice and the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, wickedness, and injustice and oppression. He admonishes you that you may take heed. (Quran)

O people, spread peace, feed the hungry, and pray at night when people are sleeping and you will enter Paradise in peace. (Hadith)

Accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and to not do wrong even if they commit evil.” (Hadith)

And do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.”(Quran)

Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them" (Prophet Muhammad)

Really, media, hate-mongers can do great things in turning people's perspective.
But as the Quran says:

But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners. (Quran)
