Maybe you guys think I'm hating on Islam, but I don't mind the religion or that people follow it, but there are definitely horrible teachings in it that needs to be addressed and not excused as with all religions at some point.

I don't think anyone can deny this, and it's made very clear in countries like Saudi Arabia that allow religion to influence law.

Yes, it has peaceful versus, but it also has violent versus, a lot of it seems to contradict its self but it makes a lot of sense that groups like ISIS could base their actions off Islamic teachings.

I'm not going to link ISIS related sites and information here for obvious reason, but anyone can easily research into the group on their own and easily tell how Islam has influenced them (especially Mahdi which is not widely accepted to my knowledge but is an Islamic belief that justifies a lot of ISIS's actions in their eyes).

Another thing we have to consider, just because Muslims in countries like U.S are peaceful does not mean they don't follow the poor teachings of Islam, I.E wanting death to homosexuals would not be tolerated at all, so they simply don't act on it (not saying they all believe it). The same is applied to Catholics/Christians, I do not believe in any of these religions and think it's fair to both criticize and attack any outrageous teachings they have.
