You know I did a whole project for my AP human geography class if Islam is evil or not. I would be happy to explain that it isn't. Look at this verse in the Quran.
Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors. quran 2:190
The muslims won't fight but will fight for defence.
While I appreciate what I believe to be the spirit of your statement, there are a couple of problems.
First: Muslims have historically been warrior people. This is particularly true of the Arabs, Turks, and Persians.
Second: you commit the all too common error of speaking in monobloc terms as if "Muslims" can be pigeon-holed so readily. This is about as successful as saying negroes are all lazy, thieving chasers of white women, Jews are all conspiring to take over the world, and white people are all racists. One should exercise caution with such statements.
Third: The passage you quote, read to 1000 people, will receive at least 1001 interpretations, some of them varying wildly from the mean. Such passages have been used to gain buy-in from the "flock" to some pretty vile and evil agendas. Anything can be twisted into something it was never meant to be.
Fourth: To say that Muslims will not not fight is ridiculous on its face. They have a very long and bloody history as fighters. To their credit, they have generally been far and away more honorable in their violence than has the Roman church, whose greatest minds have given the world the most successful strategies of death, mutilation, misery, and destruction the planet and the race is ever likely to know.
