...I hate people thinking that I am prejudiced against this religion, but every time I read books from the past there is always mention of the terror caused by militant Islam. I don't understand why their religion is so full of hatred.

My opinion is that as their image worsens due to their own actions (or inactions as refusing to condemn terrorism and actions inciteful of hatred), they only increase the possibility that the rest of the world will fight back...
