As Simon said, "verses out of context" have led to much of the hate and discontent in Europe, North America, and elsewhere. Oh, how many times have I heard a protestant pastor claim that the bible says drinking alcohol is a sin. This is only one of the verses taken out of context, as it really says being a drunkard is a sin, but not having a drink. Bait and switch pastors are bad for that, where they'll recite one verse, and claim that it means other than it does.
Islam's problems can be traced back to one man, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini. Radical socialism, though, can be traced back to Christianity and Judaism, where the two banded together in the late 1800s forming Christian Socialism. That bled over into Islam as well.
This is why I follow no religion but my own. I believe in a creator, but the rest, I believe, is the product of man, and it can be traced back to the ancient laws of Sumer to the oldest, the Code of Ur-Nammu. Law is probably older than that, but it was the first written law on clay tablets, and where some of the ten commandments originate.
