Islam teaches peace, they told anyone who would listen in news conferences, at interfaith services and, most famously, standing in a mosque with President Bush.
I am all for American Moslems who practice their religion without affecting others. However, this religion is not fit for human consumption. How can any true practicing Muslim be peaceful when his whole guidebook is replete with statements like the following:
"Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends - Quran 5:51"
"Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming Fire! - Quran 4:55"
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah - Quran 9:29"
"Fight and slay the pagans [Christians] wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush" (Surah 9:5)"
"Fight the unbelievers in your surroundings, and let them find harshness in you." (Qur'an 9:123)"

I suggest that you read an uncensored Talmud.

One can pretty much match and exceed what you have quoted above.
Note, however:
GEMARA.
R. Johanan said: A heathen who studies the Torah deserves death, for it is written, Moses commanded us a law for an inheritance; it is our inheritance, not theirs. )
