Maybe you were doing it wrong.
I'm serious. You know how many "ex-atheist" people I've heard claim they were "extremely faithful devout followers of Dawkins" before they converted?
I was doing it wrong!
I realised later, the Islam I had been sold was a crock.
It is not a religion of peace and anyone who says so doesn't know what they are talking about or they are lying.
Which brings me to the Islamic practice of 'taqiya' (translated as 'lying for the faith').
Muslims are expected to practice 'taqiya' if it will protect the faith and further it's cause. When a Muslim says that Islam is a religion of peace and that 'jihad' is only for extremists, they are LYING!!! Muslims are expected to use 'jihad', violent or otherwise, till the entire world is under sharia. Any Muslim scholar, be they from Egypt, Iran or otherwise will agree with this statement!
Qur'an 2:191: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
And the famous Hadith calling for the death of all Jews:
Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'"
