"Those who go to the Fire, will be tortured..their skins will be tortured. God will renew their skins so that they are able to feel the torment. They will be dressed in the clothes of hellfire and will eat the filth. The filthy foods of hellfire and given to hot boiling water. Where there is no cool refreshing water, black smoke, scorching winds, scalding hot water."
The word 'Islam' comes from an Arabic root with two meanings - submission or surrender, and peace. Muslims claim to submit to the will and guidance of God and that gives them peace of mind and soul.
Muslims also think that where the territory of Islam prevails it is called dar-al-sulh which means the territory of peace. But we only have to look at the civil war that's raged in Syria for over five years to see Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims killing each other to see how ridiculous that idea is.
That bit you quote about the Muslim idea of hell comes from their traditions, and is supposed to apply to all non-Muslims.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
