If the non-violent muslims ccame out and forcefully rejected the horrors of their holy book, I'd regard them as honest and peaceful. But they don't. The vast majority haven't even read it never mind discuss it.

You really must control that temper of yours.
What temper is that? I have a irritation with ignorance as saying "the horrors" of their holy book, when its no more violent or full of horrors than the Bible! lets face it, Christians have done any number of vile things following that!

The vast majority of Muslims don't go round committing violent acts or even supporting those that do. Still if you blind to that fact then your blind I guess.

What it all boils down to is a person's interpretation of whats written down and as with the bible that interpretation can vary almost infinitely. on a point of fact non-violent Muslims do frequently condemn the atrocities committed in the name of Islam. But as with so called Christian countries, religion gets mixed up with political issues, what is said and done in the name of a god very rarely bears any relation to what is actually written in the book.
