It is a religion of primitive domination and unreasoned submission, in which argument for domination and submission was calibrated without tact or subtlety to overawe mediocre minds amongst 8th century Arab culture. To such minds peace is essentially a matter crudely asserted domination and nauseatingly willing submission. So for the intellectual capacity to which this religion is calibrated, it is a religion of peace.
In this Islam exhibits the primitive traits of Abrahamic root, along with some derived traits calculated to take into account the caliber and outlook of audience for which it was intend at the onset, and the fact that Christianity has already existed for some centuries in it's region. Islam is a religion of peace in essentially the same way and to essentially the same degree as Christianity. To people whose intellectual capacities are outside the scope for which either religion is calibrated, Christianity my seem less belligerent at the moment than Islam. But that is due in no part to any additional merit on the part of Christianity. It is due purely to secular social developments in the west that have managed, uneasily, to disgrace and suppressed some of the most strident aspects of Christianity whose counterparts in Islam are still allowed free reign.
