You paint with a very broad brush.

islam's fundamentals are the same whether sunni or shiite, they are both based upon the koran. The koran calls for jihad whether being studied by either sect. Terrorism has come from both shiite and sunnis (think about the 70's and 80's shiite terrorism).

Islam is evil to its core. Study the religion for yourself, don't let others tell you what it says and demands. There is enough garbage in the koran to let you know of its evil without the sunnahs, it just adds to the evil.

Yes, that makes me anti-islamic which has nothing to do with race.

Madam, you are mistaken. There are some who claim to be Muslims who are as you describe, but not by any means all of them. That is like the islamofacists claiming all Christians are alike. Total BS.

Anti-semitism is a form of racism, and Arabs, who are a large percentage of the world's Muslims, are Semites, just like the Jews. The KKK is also unfond of Catholics, and Jews, in case you hadn't noticed.

As for studying the religion, I have. I lived in Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, and Morocco, and among the Turks and other immigrant workers, many of them Muslim, in Germany, as well.

Like Christianity, Islam is not, in itself, evil, although, again like Christianity, there are evil people in it. The same book which brought the world the Quakers also brought the Inquisition, as it is all just a matter of interpretation. Do you know the historical reason for the split between Northern Baptists and Southern Baptists? There are many other "doctrinal differences" between the various sects of Christianity based on differing interpretations of the one foundational text. Islam has the same problem. The split between Shia and Sunni happened before Mohammed was completely cold in his grave. There have been numerous other splits in that religion, since then. If you were to say the Wahhabi were evil to the core, I might be inclined to agree with you, but even they must have SOME good people. I haven't met any of them, but I won't take that as proof that there aren't any. I knew when I decided to shoot my Southern Baptist minister stepfather if he beat up my mom again, when I was 12, that not all Baptists, or even all Southern Baptists, were evil. Just some of them. Heck, if you want to say the Imam who this thread is about is evil, I would happily agree with you. But: Broad brush I said, broad brush I meant. If the shoe fits, wear it.
