Is Islam a peaceful religion?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

You must be suffering constantly
Most of the time, I am quite well, actually. It only happens when there is somebody demands me to obey some freakin´ popes or Spaghetti Monsters or whatever popps to his mind. I don´t mind when a scripture calls me to be of the same value as a pig, as I
a)understood that pigs are quite inteligent and neat animals and
b) the author didn´t realize that, knowing only little about the world beyond his everyday experience. These scriptures are just worthless to me.
If I ever should have to vote for a faith, I´ll go for Odin and Thor.

If you read his first post (in this topic), I think he makes it pretty clear. Why should he be under a particular obligation to defend and justify his beliefs, any more than the rest of us?
