Is Islam a Religion of Peace?

From what I've read in the Koran, I think it is. There is much more detail as to how we should live our lives peacefully than is contained in the Bible. The radical Islamists throughout the world have hijacked the true meaning of Islam for their own political purposes.

Yes, as you see there has been always peace in the Islamic countries and Muslims condemn terrorism in non-Islamic countries. (!?)

The majority of Muslims, imho, condemn terrorism in Islamic countries. The relentless war by some Sh'ia versus some Sunni is translating to thousands of innocent lives lost. Is it any wonder the people are becoming migrants in ever increasing numbers annually?

And feel themselves subdued. (Quran: Al Taubah: 9 - 29)

That's not quite true. People of The Book, Jews, Christians and Muslims are considered brothers (or cousins) and are protected under the Quran.
"Historically, a dhimmi was a person who is protected under Islamic law by a pact contracted between non-Muslims and authorities from their Muslim government: this status was first made available to non-Muslims who were People of the Book (e.g. Jews and Christians), but was later extended to include Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Mandeans, Hindus[14] and Buddhists.[15][16] People of the Book living in non-Islamic nations were not considered dhimmis.
Chapter 29: "Dispute not with the People of the Book save in the fairer manner, except for those of them that do wrong; and say, 'We believe in what has been sent down to us, and what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is One, and to Him we have surrendered."
