This is complete ignorance and falsehood. I have been reading the
Quran extensively of late, it is a beautiful and peaceful book. The
morality of the Quran is far beyond what is practised by leaders of
any country today. Obviously you speak without having read the
Quran. The Quran does not promote terrorism or senseless violence,
the Quran and true Islam is extremely tolerant of other religions.
The passages in the Quran concerning war are all based on the premise
that the Islamic nation is under attack. The Quran repeatedly says
that if the enemy wants to make peace, then the Muslim must make
peace.
See http://submission.org/, for example, for a readable translation
of the Quran.
The Quran is in fact far more consistent than the bible; I am able to
believe that the Quran is the uncorrupted word of God,
