No,you were expected to recognize your enemy with your brain. Hate is from the heart. If your brain tells you that a person is coming to kill you, the brain may order the heart to hate him. The pacifist approach will not only get you killed but will endanger your neighbors too. If people are actively plotting to kill us, I want our government to act. You have terribly confused emotion with intellect. Very dangerous.
If you want to ignore Islam that is fine for yourself, but let others reveal the truth. Look at today's AP pictures from Lebanon. A mother smiling as she took a knife to the head of her 3 year old to bleed him. That is Islam. Blood is a major feature of their belief.
Just about everybody missed my point. If a Muslim read the bible, they could find things objectionable. What do they do when they get to the part where Jesus says if your right hand offends you to cut it off? Most of us know not to take that literally.
We went round and round on another discussion group where some Jews wanted the bible changed to expunge references to its portrayal of Jews in a negative light. Naturally I would object to that but also would I object to using the bible as an excuse to hate Jews. Likewise will I not use their Koran as an excuse to hate them.

And rabbi S said to his son rabbi E, the first sign of Messiah shall be as when two travelers have crossed a long desert. What is the first sign they will see that they have crossed it, and are nearing a City?--Why, it is a cemetery, the great fields of tombs, on the edge of the city...
Dan 12: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great angel-prince (SAR) that stands for the children of they people (Israel). And there shall be a time of trouble such as there has never been, not since there WAS a nation.
