It was another freeper that pointed it out, but oh yeah is it true.
He started with that statement, and then supplied the following to support the premise:
Violence is not an aberration in Islamit 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, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 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.
While there are a couple of passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:256, 29:46, 41:34), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated by the violent onesbecause the violent ones were written later, after Muhammads 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 Jesus teachings to turn the other cheek and to love your neighbor.
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 fight really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. 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.

Damning stuff.
a atheist website that has bashed the bible to no end compared the amount of violence verses in the quran vs the bible
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/bible_quran.html
the result
Violence and Cruelty Total verses Percent
Bible 842 31102 2.71
Quran 333 6236 5.34
and most of the violent verses in the bible are referring to actions commited by non christians while the quran violent verses are almost all just advocation of violence
And thats coming from hardcore atheist website
