I used to be a moslem, and I have read the koran and hadith in its entirety, and it is very clear, that islam teaches hatred and segregation. Here are a few verses of the koran: Surah 9:5 - fight and slay the non-moslems wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); unless they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity

....does this teach moslems to live in peace with people of other faith...? certainly not.

Koran 5:51 - Do not take the Jews and christians as friends. ...

..... so if a moslem even tries to be nice to any non-moslem, that attitude is fake. ... so you see the koran and hadith they teach hatred, segregation and terrorism.
