Look at the teachings of the religion its self (from credible locations, there is so much hate on the internet, don't go to random websites, the beliefs of the religion have been distorted by the haters). They seem pretty good...it doesn't make sense that you mention examples of people that don't follow the teachings, that means that they are not really followers. About the animal sacrifice, you just mentioned that rules of war above, I don't understand how sacrificing an animal on a festival and eating it for food has anything to do with this. It just seems that you need to do more research in regards to the teachings of Islam. The teachings are really good. I have done a lot of research regarding religions of the world, and it seems to me that Islam makes the most sense to me. You may try taking a look at the below website. It may help clear some things up.
