Islam does have a few redeeming qualities, though the negative far outweigh the positives. But, since you asked, the positives are
1. Emphasis on one God
2. Against idolatory
3. Emphasis on charity
4. Emphasis on equality of all humans.

I won't go into the negatives. I wrote a book on that.

1. Emphasis on one God
(Actually emphasis is on Mohamed. That's why it's properly called Mohammedanism)
2. Against idolatory
(They are rank idolaters of the paganist pre-Islamic meteorite Kabba rock)
3. Emphasis on charity
(Only towards their fellow Muslims)
4. Emphasis on equality of all humans.
(See #3)
