On the other hand there are a lot of examples from Quran about peace, love, brotherhood and prosperity among humanity.
An absolute 'No' may lead to absolutism. Absolutism is feared by all men who seek knowledge and whose thirst is never satiated. I do not disagree with the Islam's philosophy of Love for All Creations (not just humanity), Peace and Fraternity (Brotherhood). This debate is about clarifying one's misconceptions about teachings of Islam as these have been very badly exploited by some individuals and groups for their own advantage.
