I don't know how to address you, as brother or sister! sorry about that.

Something terribly bothering you about reality of other peoples faith, seems like you think others don't deserve to live in peace unless they think like you do, is that right?

There is no where in Islam which tells one to follow Hadiths, Sirat and sunnah these are terms used by people who wants to misguide people by putting a straightjacket on them and will judge them with the application of these terms as they suits them. I am very much comfortable in my skin and with my beliefs.

I want to ask you a question, since the time of modern history of mankind, the followers of which religion has committed most atrocities on human beings, you can start counting from the time of inavasion of Genghis Khan till now? Hope my findings will match yours and will reach to the same conclusion, because you seems to be an honest person and extremely good judge of people of different faith, culture, religion and their practices.
