Definitely.
The thing about Islam (and Judaism and Christianity), is that you get a lot of great religious writings and texts that are great like :
'Treat people nicely'
'Be honest'
'Don't be a dickhead'
obviously paraphrasing there a bit lol, but you get what I mean. But then things get poisoned with shit like :
'Unbelievers should be shunned/killed/feared/etc'
'You must follow this asinine illogical rule because reasons'
'Anyone who doesn't follow our very specific religious dogma is doomed to hell/damnation/death/whatever'
'OUR religious path is the only real way, everyone else is wrong'
After reading a vast amount of religious texts, I get the same schizophrenic impression from all of them. And often, just a bunch of arbitrary nonsense that seems like thinly veiled ravings of crazy religious leaders throughout history.
