Islam is not evil, same as Christianity or Judaism

Islam is the third in the religions descended from God for the betterment of human race. Islam abolished the inhuman treatment of women in the Arabia, a lot of evil is practiced in backward societies due to local cultures and blamed on religion.

Koran has more peaceful messages than that of violence. It's the people who choose what to use and how to. 90% of the militants are not scholars of Islam and are not often back by any. An imam at a mosque is only qualified to lead prayers and not debate to pass Fatwa's.

Tolerance can only be obtained by creating tolerant societies.

...

Islam is not evil, I know it, I am a Muslim and I love everyone for being human or whatever they are. We need to dig a bit deeper to learn the truth, Islam is being judged by the actions of a very few, and in some cases intentionally.
