After listening to some seemingly credible sources, I believe you're much closer to the truth than I was with my posts. I am reading a biography of Winston Churchill right now and the similarities between the Nazis and those who wanted to compromise in the false hopes of appeasing them and Muslims and those among us and elsewhere trying to appease them is, well, chilling.
I stand corrected.

Another interesting read when you get the time is Robert Spencer's Qur'an Commentary
http://www.jihadwatch.org/quran-commentary.html
Basically he reads the entire Qur'an and discusses each chapter (just start at the bottom).
Once you get to Sura 9 I doubt you'll see Islam as the religion of peace ever again.
