Islam is the most violent religion in the world. Indeed, Islam has been spread by violence since its inception. What explains this?
This is pretty straight forward folks. There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Violence is not an aberration in Islamâit is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them. For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:24 (rape of captive women); 4:34 (wife beating); 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading, terrorism), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12. These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.
Behind these overtly violent passages, there are underlying passages that shed light on these. For example, non-Muslims are considered pigs and apes (Suras 5:60, 7:166). A Muslim should not even take Jews or Christians for friends (Suras 3:28, 5:51). Unbelievers are Muslimsâ âopen enemiesâ (Sura 4:101). Apostate Muslims are subject the the worst penalties (16:106), which is why parents will disown or even kill a child that leaves Islam. (See the video below âJesus in the Quranâ an incredible testimony!) Passages that demean women in various ways are almost too numerous to count. See:
Treatment of Women
While there are passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:190, 2:256, 5:8, 5:28, 5:32, 8:61, 29:46, 41:34, 109:6), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated (Sura 2:106), i.e. superseded, by the violent onesâbecause the violent ones were written later, after Muhammadâs move to Medina (from Mecca). Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesusâ teachings to âturn the other cheekâ and to âlove even your enemies.â
You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages. For example, to âfightâ really means to kill in Arabic.) http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran
Here is a short video on the Quran and its violent message:

In addition to the Quran are the Hadiths (Sira/Sunnah, âThe Way of Muhammadâ). These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow. See this link:
Religion of Peace
An example is a statement by Muhammad from the Bukhari Hadith 4.52.220, which says: âI have been made victorious with terror.â
If you are not really familiar with the foundations and history of Islam, PLEASE watch this video, which explains why that have been THOUSANDS of jihad attacks since 9/11. I promise you it will be worth the 44 minutes you take to view it:
History of Islam
Here are videos where you can see how everyday Muslims ADMIT to accepting violence because it is in their books:

Here is an abbreviated list of terror attacks by Muslims since the 1980âs:

Here is the testimony of a former Muslim. It is very revealing about Islamic culture:
Jesus in the Quran
For more information, see our Faith Facts article: Christianity Versus Islam
Because they’re not Christians.
Muslims feel they have to be violent because their belief system is a cult which produces no power in its belief.
Over 1300 years of inbreeding doesn’t help either.
GW said “it’s a peaceful religion”.
Where the HELL did he get that?
It would be nice to see him walk that back.
He also said that Americans at the Mex border trying to stop the invasion
were “Vigilantes”
What a guy, true blue American.
I don’t much care about why a scorpion stings - the knowledge that it does and that squashing it is the best way to insure its ability to hurt me is lessened is enough.
Not to mention the inbreeding, stunted IQ’s, illiteracy, and have you ever had Persian food? It’s either totally bland, or they have a delicacy that tastes like wet garbage.
