All religions are "Opium for the masses".
Islam is no different from any other religion.
It is the Islamic revisionists that have created a radicalised version of the creed that has become far more vocal and therefore more prominent than mainstream Islam.
It's interesting that there is a little Muslim community close to where I work in India. The, usually religiously-tolerant non-Muslim locals there complain about the radical behaviour of some of the adherents. A few people have got the entire faith a bad name, world-wide.
