It's about the dumbest thing going...except for all the others that pretend they have all the answers because 'god' gave a message to their founder.

The only thing you need to know about Islam is that it is not a religion of peace as it so falsely claims.

New Age/Pagan religions tend to be quite peaceful. There is also Jainism.

Oh you're missing out on so much goodness. Read Robert Spencer's book The Truth About Muhammad because that's what the religion is really about. One delusional man who created something to suit his needs for attention, sexual endeavors, and power. Alas he was successful.

It's about a heretic pedophile starting his own version of a bizarre goat fucking religion. It needs to be wiped out as the modern version of it likes blowing folks up.

We can get rid of hinduism and christianity with it too right?

I would say of all of the major religions, Islam is the worst. Doctrinally it's the worst and more importantly, in reality it is the worst. In Islam there is no room for the separation of church and state. Islam is a specific doctrine for how the state should be run. Where as most other religions have come around to the reality of the benefits of a secular state. In addition Islam is an obvious fraud. So much of their doctrine is obviously made up by a male in the middle east in the middle ages. Take for instance the fasting from dawn til dusk in Ramadan. Well because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Ramadan changes season periodically. Therefore sometimes Ramadan falls in the summer. Do you expect Swedish with 20 hours of daylight to just not eat for a whole month? A pretty dumb oversight for an almighty God, but an obvious one for a male from a place in the world where daylight doesn't vary that much. Islam is full of such inconsistencies that simply couldn't be made by an omnipotent being. Mind you all of this is without mentioning the obvious stereotypes about terrorism, rape, the repression of women, etc.
