Some Quran quotes suggesting otherwise:
Ye know of those of you who broke the Sabbath, how We said unto them: Be ye apes, despised and hated!--2:65
As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of Fire - a hapless journey's end!--2:126
Slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out ... If they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.--2:191
One who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he attacked you.--2:194
Wage war on all of the idolaters as they are waging war on all of you.--9:36
As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. ... An exemplary punishment from Allah.--5:38
No, bluebaby, your religion is not one of peace and forgiveness.
