Humans of all religions, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and any other you can think of, unfortunately see their goodness as coming from a holy writing, holy book or religious club. There certainly ARE compassionate humans in every single one of those, but they never want to consider that it is our species evolution that creates that compassion, not religion itself. Humans are simply projecting their own qualities in the form of myths and god claims are merely a projection of their own desires, narcissism and insecurities.
This is why the echo-chambers of religion are terrible. Everyone thinks they have it exactly right, while not noticing that others are also getting it right through entirely different means. Maybe your super-secret methods aren't so special after all.
