The state of Islam is very poor at the moment and it will continue to get worse (overall) until the Day of Judgement. There may be an upsurge of interest but overall it will get worse. The vast majority of Muslims today do not represent Islam however good their intentions, not to say they're bad Muslims but most do not practice to the full. If you want an example of Islam how it should be practiced read a biography of the Prophet.

And the history of any khalafah including Ottoman, Andalous"Spanish" and....yeah?

Untrue, the prophet peace and blessing upon him in hadith predicted this period of time and the kalafah after it.

Muharibs are people who spread disorder,mischief,chaos in the land. Either in the form of terrorism, inciting hatred through preaching, misleading people from the truth and commiting mass numbers of rape/murder/robberies. Such people who commit these kinds of acts in a muslim state where they are of a negative influence and are causing innocent civilians to be unnecessary to be affected are due punishment, strict punishment as ordered by God.

Well the first pillar of Islam is to have faith, if you don't have faith then you aren't a Muslim. If you have faith then you are obliged to carry out the remaining duties as a muslim such as charity, pilgrimage, fasting and prayer. So to be a complete muslim these five pillars are practiced to the best of ones ability. If a muslim has only FAITH alone without praying or carrying out any other duties then his faith will only deteriote to a point that he will start to question his religion and his bond with God will weaken. So to strengthen our faith further we must seek knowledge about our religion in-depth while carrying out the other duties. You have to understand that Islam means "submission", having faith alone isn't submitting, submission is when we follow God's will in every possible way. That is why Muslims use the term "practicing" when describing their daily routines, it is a term which describes the effort a Muslim is trying to put in to become closer to God and to strengthen ones faith. A strong faith has multiple benifits, one of which is self-restraint to minor tempting sins.

I'd ignore them, or ask them politely to not be so insensitive towards my religion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however unpleasant it may seem to me.

Of course, but it is upto oneself to limit the time spent playing, as too much can cause addiction and it isn't healthy. Also, one has to keep an eye for the times of prayer and be careful that he doesn't miss the prayer due to being engrossed deeply in a virtual reality where you are fighting for your characters life.

Despite the weakness and disunity in which the Muslims are living, this was regarded as great support for Islam, as there are people among both the kuffaar and the Muslims who are defending our religion. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands himself sent a letter to the Shaykh of al-Azhar, stating that his government objected to the production and showing of this film, and that a case had been brought before the Dutch courts. How would the situation be if the Muslims were truly united and they had the strength to instil respect and awe in the hearts of those haters and fabricators?
Isn't a boycott of Dutch goods, or the expulsion of Dutch ambassadors, strong unislamic? It targets innocent Dutch people for the actions of someone who just happens to live in the same country. Isn't that morally reprehensible under Islam, or are you saying that Islam supports the punishment of many innocent people for the actions of one man who they have nothing to do with?
