I don't think so, but you could be a Muslim and simply follow the five pillars (prayer, charity, rammadan, etc.) and believe that's enough to get you into heaven. There are Muslims who believe the quran is corrupt because it was written by men and should be taken with a grain of salt. There are Muslims who think what matters is loving one another and what the Quran's dogmas say isn't that important. There are also Muslims who take everything literally. The fact there's diversity tells me one side isn't right. I don't think terrorists are more right than liberals and progressives, I haven't even read the whole Quran to conclude that - But I prefer leaving that to a specialist because I don't think it is random that some scholars are progressive Muslims and have read the whole Quran.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
