The idea of a "religion of peace" is absurd. Almost all religions espouse peace to some degree or other. I'm sure even Norse mythology did in some strange way. Almost all practitioners of every religion also ignore this and do what they want, often times even backed up by passages in their books that are taken out of context (or that apologists just like to pretend are taken out of context).
And to think that any Abrahamic religion is "peaceful" is likewise ridiculous. Violence and religious intolerance have been encouraged since Judaism's inception. I am also dubious of the people who claim that extremist Islamists are necessarily misinterpreting the Quran. The religious texts of Abrahamic religions are often so vague and open to interpretation that God himself should be tried for negligent homicide. Any deity worthy of the name could have predicted the atrocities that have happened because of supposed misinterpretations, and disagreements over some passage or another's meaning---and yet he/she/they still put pen to paper anyway. Besides, how are you gonna tell me that some crackpot cleric who's been reading and dissecting the Quran his entire life doesn't have the right to claim some level of expertise? He lives and breathes Islam in a way that most of the people claiming that he misinterprets the text never could. Maybe God really does want believers to kill the infidels.

And I also think that the number of moderate Muslims who don't want apostasy and things like that is highly ignored. Religion of peace comes from nothing that the Quran or Muhammad said, it's a political idiom that came about after 9/11.

Islam is the one religion which is consistently producing evil around the world wherever it goes. Western Muslims will say Islam is being interpreted wrongly but it's bollocks, in all the hundreds of years, and the dozens of countries who have implemented shit like the Sharia not one has managed to get it right? And this from a book which claims to be perfect, clear and from God. - Hateful scripture - Scripture being interpreted as hateful and taught as such - Bad acts carried out Islam ticks all the boxes mate. |

Maybe god is above all this egotistical human bullsh*t
It never made sense to me how most religions humanize gods by either given them petty flaws like jealousy or making them gods of a specific thing, like the god of music or love or wthvr I mean, why would a god(s) have the same problem and limitation as us? you would think them being gods they would have a higher mindset and be above our human downfalls but no apparently they aren't.

I think that's just a product of the times and culture similar to the slavery verses in the Bible. Doesn't excuse it obviously. Not enough to call the Quran a hateful scripture IMO. Next.
