>statistically speaking
Trust me, Islamic scholars are very well educated. They love Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) with all their heart. Please, read in to the context of 'kill all non-believers', and you may be thoroughly surprised. For your information, I am a devout Roman Catholic and am opposed to the ideology as well, but it is not one of violence.
PS: Also, let me pose a question to you - is freedom always a good idea?
