This is the problem with ALL religions, everyone makes it about labels, but the truth is both non violent pluralists and bigoted politically gung ho religious people on the right all still use the very same books as the left. Of course the Christian right and Islamic right have lots in common. Both take a dominion attitude about others and both use those books as reasons to be oppressors to minorities and even those who hold the same religion.
Religion is poison. Not that you can force it out of existence, but that it is a poor way for humans to see each other as humans and a very easy way to justify harm to our fellow humans.
