Mr Adam,you are just showing only the sweeter side of Islam,while it is true Quran has some beautiful verses and I personaly found about 125 verses that call for tolerence and patience.
One such example of tolerent verse 2:256 says there is no compulsion in religion,however this has been abrogated or cancelled in later verse 9:5 which calls for intolerece "Fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them and seize them and beleaguer them,and lie in wait for them in every atratagem(of war)... and verse 5:33 "For those who do not submit to Allah their punishment is ...execution or crucifiction or the cutting off of hands and feet,from opposite sides,or exile from the land"
Muslim apologists give various excuses,they say the reading is out of context,but isnt Quran supposed to be the word of Allah and the true follower obeys it by letter and spirit.
Muslims are not to be blamed,but the doctrine indeed does preach hatred,violence and intolerence.
