Islam as a religion is not bad.  People who use a certain version of Islam to turn their followers into violent zealots is bad and is the problem.  These sects or groups are cultish and not truly representative of the vast majority of Muslims.  (I am not disagreeing with you but it is a bit more nuanced).
