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.
How many of the other religions are indulging in violence and terror attacks regularly, on a global level?
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.
