Listen. When I say true islam is peaceful, I'm labelled as a Muslim in disguise who is practicing taqiyyeh. If I say true islam is violent, I'm labelled as a Muslim hater who just wants to bash on muslims.

Who labels you that? I'm not labelling you as anything or judging you, i'm just giving you my opinion, i'm not a Muslim in disguise when I say Islam is a peaceful religion, I am a Muslim, and glad that i am one. Muslims for hundreds of years lived alongside Jew's and Christians in different nations around the world. Islamic extremism is a recent invention, which may have been caused by the "modernising of islam". There's always two sides of the coin, Islam used to be balanced, now it's either a modern liberal muslim, or an extremist muslim, what needs to happen is a Caliphate who can bring that balance and restore it back to it's original value's.

I've always been fine with islam in general. I have nothing against it. Considering how I live in a place with a lot of Muslims, I'm able to learn more about them and not generalise all of them into one group.
The only issue I see is that there's always a small group of people who begin to spread corrupt viewpoints. Sounds like a small issue, but if these people were to ever teach a group of kids or go give a speech during Friday prayer, what do you think happens? That's how ISIS itself works. Without spreading the message, they most likely would have never reached 10000 men. It's how anyone in history gained power, whether if they were good or bad.
Saying that, I believe we have a great amount of scholars in the secular regions who will continue to spread the message of islam. They can be the key to helping out with the refugees who still have backwards thinking
