No, beer bottles often display a message to the effect of "Be responsible in your consumption of alcohol". And the Koran (like scripture in general) contains messages of peace, but it's bigger than the label on a beer bottle, and so contains additional messages that can be interpreted in various ways.
When you mention messages of peace, which verses do you have in mind?
You can easily find them yourself and interpret them as you will:

The point is not that messages cannot be interpreted in only one way, except by literalists like you. Read 'em and weep.
I'm not going to fuck up your parade, except in conversations like this one. I'm just damned if I'm going to march in it because you wave a sign "us vs them" and have absolutely no specifics to argue except that you're afraid somebody's going to blow you up and that's all you can think about at one time. The person who blows you up might turn out to be a white supremacist. Timothy McVeigh blew up a few scores of people, too, and he probably leafed through his bible once in a while to find verses which mentioned vengeance.
