Obviously Islam is not a religion of peace at this time. But keep in mind neither was christianity during the middle ages. Perhaps if Islam is given some time (500-600 years) it will turn into something more mild.
No, it will not. The reason is that the Qu'ran is not open source software. It is to be taken literally unless an official update arrives.

The peacefulness or otherwise of Islam has been debated a hundred times on this forum and the conclusion is always the same: it's not the faith it's some of it's adherents that have a problem with peace, just as Christianity has had it's problems with the auto da fe etc.
Having a young Muslim woman staying with us while she attends university has certainly been an eye opener to me of the inherent peacefulness she finds in her religion, and i would like to remind members of the following dictum:
