If someone here wants to say that Islam is (or is supposed to be) a religion of peace, they don't need to be complaining to us when we doubt them. They need to be upset with their fellow Muslims who have been far less than peaceful with their execution of said religion.
Personally, I've always said the same thing about Christianity as I do Islam: the holy book is so self contradictory and convulted that you can use it to turn your religion into a religion of peace or you can use it to turn your religion into a religion of war. Do whichever suits your situation and you'll be just fine.
