Before I answer our questions, I must insist that you follow the rules and introduce yourself in the appropriate forum (as you were reminded when signing up, and clicked "I agree" to).
Now assuming you make the introduction post, here are my answers:
1) It depends on what you mean by "creator". If you mean some kind of creative force, then yes, there probably was. What that force was or when it happened (or even if it exists in what we perceive as space/time) is unknown, so I don't see how people can go around saying it has intelligence or is some kind of superbeing.
2) It all depends on the intentions of the "creator" if it were a intelligent being. If it created us as free-thinking, free minded beings, then I would question why it wanted to be worshiped, as it could have easily created an army of worshiping drones to do that. If it didn't make demands, I'd probably respect it a lot more, and I guess you could refer to that as some sort of worship, but then of course it'd be visible and I'd "know" it to some sense of the word. I don't see any value in worshiping a being that I don't know exists or not though.
3) Yes, of all the doctrines I have studied, Islam is one of the most intolerant and disgusting. Its views on the treatment of women and children spring instantly to mind. I find it terribly ironic that the religion that likes to mask itself as the "religion of peace" was the result of the babbling of a warlord.
