Default If Islam is the peaceful religion what is Jainism?

not smashing Islam,, just asking if Jainism's major idea is ahems, how come Islam takes the title instead?
is there a title for Jainism?

I don't think Jainists feel the need to recruit or proselytize.

They simply are peaceful.

Jainism, Buddhism, Quakerism, Amish/Mennonite sects, and Brethren churches all qualify as more "peaceful" religiously oriented groups than almost all others, including Islam

Jainism is an ancient Indian religion of harmlessness and renunciation, including worship and beliefs.

Nobody has heard of it though, so on public awareness alone, Hinduism should win the title.

Islam is NOT a peaceful religion - that's all spin.

I am current completing a general world religion class. I think that there is only one title for Jainism and that is "Jainism". I don't know why Islam takes the title of peace.
