Any self-described "religion" that requires adherents to lie to, cheat, subjugate, and actually KILL non-believers in the goal of taking over the entire EARTH is NOT a true religion -- it is a plan to impose a world-wide tyranny DISGUISED as a religion.

America's Founders would have done well to explain that in our founding documents and to ban Islam or any other group that operates and is designed in a similar fashion (Satanism and Communism, for examples; note that the spiritual dimension is optional for this purpose). Islam is a giant RICO conspiracy aimed at fostering theft, murder, and tyranny; it should not be treated as a religion.

Part of what disguises this is that there are great things in the vast jumble of Islam -- my father wasn't a Muslim (nor raised as one) but his favorite book was The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, for example -- a book which puts the positive side of Muslim culture and spirituality on display. Millions of Muslims are good, compassionate, honest people: "moderate Muslims" they're called. They ignore the parts of the "holy books" that tell Muslims to treat Infidels as enemies and to kill them when they've taken over enough of a society.

Those Muslims, the Moderate ones, are slaughtered along with other Infidels when the time becomes right (e.g., when the Muslim population in an area becomes large enough proportionally to have the upper hand). England is well on the way to that point.

The persecution of Christians by the Islamic State involves the systematic mass murder[1][2][3] of Christian minorities, within the regions of Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique and Nigeria controlled by the Islamic extremist group Islamic State. Persecution of Christian minorities climaxed following the Syrian civil war and later by its spillover but has since intensified further.[4][5][6] Christians have been subjected to massacres, forced conversions, rape, sexual slavery, and the systematic destruction of their historical sites, churches and other places of worship.

Amazon, for another source, has hundreds of books relevant to Islam's built-in, outright war against all other belief systems. This war isn't doesn't involve a "radical interpretation" of Islam, but rather takes what is in the Koran as an important part of Islam that applies literally to all adherents (the original is even more direct than translations, according to reports).
