My personal take is that it's not a whole lot different than many religious texts... it can be understood as both a book of profound peace and as a book of violence... and I know that a good number of Muslims practice peacefully and in a tolerant manner.
it's the radicals that give the book a bad name.
Imho, anyone - of any faith or belief-system - that preaches intolerance should be put down.

Seriously you should read the koran.....there's nothing profound peaceful
in it.....There's this one passage where Muhammed talks about living side
by side with the jews in peace.....this was in the period Muhammed had
little to zero followers....the next passage adds that it's good to live in
peace with non believers till muslims are in the position to overthrow the
other group and forcefully convert them to islam....or be slaughtered
The so called peaceful verses you hear quoted on t.v. are either half verses
or verses pulled out of context......anyone who has picked up the Koran will
confirm this.
