No, I believe they are fairly demonized..
Regardless of what a Muslim tells you , you have no way of knowing if they are truthful with you since you are an infidel.
If they say to an infidel that they are a religion of peace then that means they are only biding their time until you are either converted or killed.
Islam is a cult at best. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

Where Islam gets confusing or controversial are when you add the Hadiths- which are suppose to be the spoken words of Muhammad. The Hadiths are interpreted differently by different sects of muslims. The radicals- i.e- Isis-Boko Haram, Al-queada take a strict interpretation to the extreme- most law abiding muslims don't even follow the Hadiths. The Quran in itself is nowhere near as radical as the Hadiths. The Hadiths have Shariah law not the Quran- heck in the Quran no where does it even say that woman should cover their faces- those laws all come from the Hadith in which radicals have abused.
