Islam is not a religion of peace

[Curmudgeoness]

5. I see your point about this article being Islamophobic, but

I also agree with the article in some respects. It is true that all religions have violence and hatred for the "other" in their holy books. The difference to me is that other religions have moved past that to a point. Christians and Jews, at least the ones that I am aware of, no longer stone and behead sinners or non-believers. Although it is uncomfortable to say things against God, it is not a death sentence. Islam has held very tightly to the old ways and literal interpretations, and in that way, they are more barbaric. This does not mean that all the Muslims are barbaric or strictly adhering to Sharia law, because many are not. But even our fundamentalist Christians and Jews are not taking all the words of the Old Testament to heart.

I think that we are really comparing fundamentalists in all religions, and the Muslims is showing themselves to be less evolved. That is what I get out of the article.
