I confess I chose the cop out option only because I really don't know enough about Islam to draw any reasonable conclusions.

Briefly speaking on the subject, I think Christianity is meant to teach about peaceful coexistent but then it has been used to justify horrible acts and wars such as Islam has been.

I'd like to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion as well, although, I have heard from various others that quotes may exist in the Quran that may indicate the latter (an eye for an eye is the example I recall the most), but then I also feel that the bible opened up many doors in it's own texts to empowering hate groups towards various segments of the population throughout history.

At the end of the day though I feel that many texts, philosophy, policy or law could be twisted or radicalized to achieve dishonorable goals.

So I guess ultimately my thought is probably yes, but I voted don't know because it felt the most correct and that to vote yes would be like saying I'm educated on the matter when I most definitely am not.
