So, by all means try to educate people about the true nature of Islam
What is the reasoning behind this?
I think religion is okay as long as believers don't disrupt the mechanisms that allow progress. This can be a matter of certainty in the belief rather than the nature of the belief.
One of the issues with what you say is that Islam is not only a religion but a political system as well.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
