You are choosing to hyper-focus on a perceived attack upon your faith as an excuse to ignore everything else I said in a multi-part reply. That is convenient, but it is also your prerogative.
But I have made my case as to why it is ahistorical, illogical, and simply unwise to declare 1.57 Billion people whom you have never met your "enemy" based solely upon words in a book that you, not they, have decided are important. You have declared yourself an expert on Islam and on what Muslims believe, and to hell with what anyone else says (even those with vastly more experience in the history and politics of the region and religion in question.) Continuing to follow your comforting narrative despite this is, as I said, your choice to make.
