Anybody who uses a faith of PEACE which Christianity is does not believe in violence of anykind, Just because wolves is sheep's clothing are hiding behind the blanket of Christianity to claim there evil deeds does not mean they are doing it for Christian purposes.

ISLAM does teach violence it is part of there teachings.

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." (Matt. 10:34-35)

There are many violent exhortations in the Old Testament, as well. Take your bigotry elsewhere.

"Islam" does not teach, people interested in using religion to acquire power parse the Qu'ran in order to create an atmosphere of hatred against non-Muslims.

There was a time on this Earth when Muslims where amongst the most educated people in the world, now, the masses are by and large illiterate.

Why?

Because a man who can read the Qu'ran by himself may question his Imam's interpretation of the words therein.

If you allow yourself to be equally swayed by those from "our" side of the conflict into generalizing Islam by words parsed from the Qu'ran, you are little more than that illiterate nomad being sold a bill of goods by a Jihadist.

Just as a side note, Christianity wasn't always a "Faith of Peace". Just ask those who were tortured and killed during the inquisitions, during the founding of christian empires, etc... Oh wait. We can't. Because they are DEAD. Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, and yet it is only a small percentage of those who engage in terrorism, and they use Islam as an excuse to do those horrible things.

The important thing for the purposes of this discussion is what people actually believe, not what we think their holy texts require them to believe. Have all Christians at all times in all places seen their religion as a religion of peace?
