Easy. You throw the books out the window and look at the way that people actually practise their religion. You of all people should know that books don't define a religion because followers are rather selective about how they interpret them. Have you stoned a rebellious child lately, after all?

That said, I acknowledge that some Muslims are teaching and practising hate towards others. I truly believe that this is a stage that all religions go through. Judaism went through it two and a half thousand years ago. Christianity went through it in the middle ages (Inquisition, anyone?). And Islam is going through it now.
