Just look at countries where it is practiced, unmuzzled .....unrestrained by Western Laws to keep it in check........ ISIS is true Islam.
No freedom of thought..........no scientist patents .......no discoveries in technology.......no vacines or medicines ............females are underfoot.
By any index, the Muslim world produces a disproportionately small amount of scientific output, and much of it relatively low in quality.1 In numerical terms, forty-one predominantly Muslim countries with about 20 percent of the world's total population generate less than 5 percent of its science. This, for example, is the proportion of citations of articles published in internationally circulating science journals.2 Other measures -- annual expenditures on research and development, numbers ofresearch scientists and engineers -- confirm the disparity between populations and scientific research
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."
Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah"
Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."
Quran (9:14) - "Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people."
Quran (4:16) - "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone"
I could go on an on.....
Islam is the religion of peace, if peace means gross wanton violence, bigotry and authoritarianism.
Ya, starting 20 years ago. Read the book of Mormon , and some of the Talmud. Kind of an important thing when actually comparing them with say, the Bible.

Of course the modern Liberal has already displaced Plato and rational thought.
