There are some really bad extremist Muslims but by definition of Islam they are obviously not following the will of GOD. Most uhm not radical extremist violent Muslims are actually separating themselves from these extremists.
I have read the Qur'an. In its translated form it has additions that are within parenthesis. Other than these additions it is profitable for those inquiring of the direction of man under GOD. It is written differently but is very similar to the teachings of the bible and reiterizes the events and points of the Torah or Old Testament. It does however speak of the misdirection of the masses, but ultimately speaks of mercy and peace, for real. I haven't read any other Islamic writings. I may never. It doesn't refer to Jesus the Christ as the Son of GOD, but it does refer to him as the pure and perfect messenger of GOD and actually holds him in the highest regard among all messengers. I know that's a hard thing for some to get around. And Allah literally translates to GOD. It's the same GOD of Abraham, the same GOD of our Lord Christ.
And no, I believe in equality, compassion and unity, not beating or killing anyone.
Peace
