If you're after purely factual data about Islamic doctrine then Dr Bill Warner (physicist) has done a statistical analysis of the 3 Islamic holy books. This is the quickest way to get an objective view of Islam.
The reason my reply sounds offensive to you is that (a) it doesn't take long to watch those videos and (b) Beck makes the point of saying it's a factual book. But if you can't do the little "research" required to watch a few videos, because you're put off by your own preconceptions about Beck, then you're never going to find the info you're looking for. You have to put aside bias and take the information wherever you find it. After reading several different authors you get a feel for what is real and what is hyped BS. So, just dive in and start reading and watching videos.
Here's a few stats on Islam:
Mohammed beheaded 600-900 Jews on one day.

Mohammed ordered or supported 43 assassinations.
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killin...y_Muhammad
The prophet Mohammed commanded 65 military campaigns, and fought in 27 of them. He averaged an event of violence every 6 weeks for the last 9 years of his life.

The prophet Mohammed sanctioned the killing of about 10 poets who criticised him.

The Islamic holy books (Koran, Hadith, Sira) contain more Jew hatred (9%) than Mein Kampf (7%).

The majority of Islamic texts are about how to treat non-believers, not about inner character development.
Mohammed preached peace and tolerance (sort of) for 13 years in Mecca and converted 150 Arabs to Islam. When he went to Medina he became a politician and a warrior. In the last 9 years of his life he conquered all of Arabia.
Conclusion: religion was a failure; jihad a massive success.
If you really want independent research then you can always read the biography of Mohammed (or at least the table of contents):
