The short Islamic passage
Al-Khafiroun discusses what a good Muslim would do when meeting a non-Muslim. They would not force their religion upon those unwilling, but despite that would not throw away their own beliefs. (Somebody famous named Osama clearly didn't read that part of his religion).
A good article to shed light on what the religion actually is about beyond the common misconceptions and how most Muslim-Americans feel when they hear these stories of terrorism caused by people claiming to be of their religion:
