"I am treating this from consistent standards based on a free market of ideas.

Nope. Sorry, you've treated it like a devotee of one group looking for flaws in another. Consistent from the speaking platform you represent but no where near free market. Maybe in some comparative religious course we could see something like consistent standards from a free market of ideas but I haven't seen it here abouts. You find glaring and disturbing things to criticise... over there, things which would not be recognized by the mainstream of the other group. Just the same you feel justified by existing dogma. Things which in fact are objected to by the other group, but are easily dismissed by you. All devotees do this when they see other groups in an adversarial light, its called demonization of the other and is particularly common from the religious lectern. Step up and take ownership.

"Suffice to say that our culture seems intent on trying to portray Islam as a "religion of peace" partially because the truth might be too scary to fathom."

Good example: Our culture and that other thing which is too scary to fathom by our culture. Dude ... the only scary thing I see is the mind that came up with that comment. To scary to fathom? Have you personally studied Islam ... outside of the adversarial presentations I mean.
