Islam is a religion of War.

Yes indeed, ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE - and so is every other divine religion! I make this claim as well. However, I do not understand why you get upset when someone is proclaiming a religion to be peaceful. Isn't that something good? Something good in general? Shouldn't people be optimistic and hope for the greater good? Isn't this how things should be on this planet - peaceful? You should have been worried if someone came up to you and said that Islam is a barbaric, cruel, religion which promotes hatred and violence. This indeed would have been an issue to be concerned about, but why are you "annoyed" when someone says that Islam is a religion of peace? Don't we all want peace? Isn't this something appreciated? Your judging skills need a little improvement. Don't you think that you should have studied Islam first (even the basics) before creating an opinion about it, whether it's a religion of "war" or peace? Things that seem "obvious" aren't always true! A second opinion should be very much appreciated especially when concepts are getting misconstrued and statements are falsely interpreted. Superficial judgement never upholds true justice! You have absolutely avoided to provide evidence of your claim of Islam being a violent religion from the original sources of Islam. There is no doctrinal evidence nor any other credible argumentation. Your statement about heaven and hell and how it promotes violence and war has nothing to do with Islam. It's a completely different discussion whether the concept of heaven and hell is beneficial for mankind of not. It does not in any way make Islam distinctively a religion of war. Do you even know what totalitarianism means and in how many contextual places this word can be used? What evidence have you provided for Islam promoting totalitarianism? Simply that Islam promotes to worship One God and teaches certain ways to perform that worship? Is this your evidence? And is that why WW2 occurred? Every sensible reader will surely understand your level of intellect after reading your supporting evidence of your claim. Islam is a religion of peace - not war. The literal (dictionary) meaning of Islam is Peace. Islam promotes peace, love, harmony, and every sort of goodness. It upholds human values and encourages to form a realistic atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. This is what Islam is for me and for the remaining 1.5 billion people who adhere themselves to this beautiful and peaceful religion. They are not blowing themselves up every other day wearing suicide jackets nor are they killing each other in their Islamic countries on a routinely basis just because their religion advocates such actions. They certainly understand their own religion better than you do. They live their lives like every other human being, loving to take care of their families and loved ones. They promoted welfare, well-being, and happiness. This is what Islam is for me and for them. Those handful of bad apples, who IN THE NAME OF ISLAM promote violence and cruelty are enemies of humanity. They love destruction and hatred. They have hijacked the religion of Islam for their own politically vested interests. They are demoting Islam and using it as a tool for their own evil agendas. Their ideology has nothing to do with the true teaching of Islam - no matter how much they want to adhere their beliefs to it. Let me see what you have to say to this.
