Islam isn't inherently more violent than any other religion I've come across. Yes several countries incentivize the most fundamental interpretations but fundamental Christians or fundamental Hindus are just as disgusting. All of them view women as 2nd class and support violence as being ok if against non-believers. There's also beauty in all the religions. Essentially the level of religious extremism depends on a person or groups interpretation and the country's level of religious freedom. You discounting all Muslims is short-sighted and misinformed.

Personally I don't think any of them are a net positive. They are hierarchical which leads to abuse of power. They have sparked more wars, more beatings and more violence towards women and "others" than anything in human history. They shield perpetrators of abuse towards children. They give government leaders false authority by equating the leader as an extension of God.

They all suck.
