Actually Islam does have a long scholarly tradition of explaining Islamic texts, putting them into context, using historical context and researching a deeper meaning behind quranic verses.
However when one realises such scholarly research largely leads to scholars coming to the conclusion that violence or punishment is needed to uphold Islamic law, that much of the violence done by Islam is justified and that Muslims are superior and have a right to rule over others and for them to be privileged over others, one needs to realise the negatives of Islam are central beliefs many muslims hold, you only have to look amongst practising Muslims, look at what they say on forums, social media, etc, its right there at your finger tips and you'll see most agree with the negative aspects and all the schools of thought of islam agree with things like punishment for apostasy and blasphemy. I swear, all the stuff Muslims agree with as a matter of routine, if it was Christians holding equivalent views, people would not hesitate to call us bigots, hateful and extreme as a whole. Face it, most practising Muslims feel to some degree they have a right to be superior to others and rule over them, with laws that supply them with privilege and non-muslims knowing their place beneath them, they actually mirror the way many white European societies viewed themselves along racial lines until the mid-20th century, but Muslims follow religious lines for such discrimination, while "white" societies was based along racialist lines.
When are people going to wake up and confront evil for what it is? also its Muslims themselves are the biggest victims of the false prophet of Islam. Islam does not care a bean about our rights, you think they would defend non-Muslims if they managed to take over and give us the same freedoms we give them? I am not going to deny freedoms for anybody, even if I disagree with their ideology, however I am not naive as to not realise that Islam is self serving, manipulative, power hungry, feels superior and would deny us our civil rights within a second if they could and all the practising Muslims, who plead they are victims and hard done by, would want Islamic law if possible, for them to be privileged and would cheer on the expansion of Islam at the expense of others, wake up, the Bible predicts those who are tricked by Satan and false prophets, Muslims (and others, Mormons, JW's, etc) are victims of such trickery!
