BullS@*t!
Islam is based on violence. Any talk of peace is a game Muslims play to fool the naive. All you have to do is study the life of that butcher Mohammed. Mohammed murdered the Jews in his part of Arabia that would not convert to his new religion. Mohammed was the first Nazi.
Things have not changed at all in 1400 years. Islam is a vile, murderous religion.
