How many of the other religions are indulging in violence and terror attacks regularly, on a global level?All religions, except maybe Bhuddism, believe their religion is the one and only source of truth and that all other gods are false. If you're a Christian its in the 10 commandments. All religions have a base rule of be excellent to each other/your neighbour.
I reckon if you looked a little more widely you might find some Muslim academics and ex Muslims that have come to the view that Islam is not a religion of intolerance and violence. Your readings to date may be aligning with your already existing thoughts on the issue.
What do their texts say about non-believers?
All religions are equally worthless fantasies and control mechanisms in my eyes, but Islam is not largely harmless to non believers like most.
