I will probably get another warning for this response........oh well.
All religions based on the Moses myth are inherently violent because the were historically created in order to control the masses. These religions were some of the first forms of government and were created by passive-aggressive type rulers in order to maintain control of the people without having to resort to arms. (hey, look it up)
These religions, because they are based on controlling the masses, do have the tendency for any nutcase to twist the current meaning of the religious text to show that "God promotes my brand of violence." Of course, the reason is because that is why they were created in the first place. They are tailor made for exploitation by terrorists and such.
Buddhism, Taoism, Wicca, and Shamanism are examples of religions that came up outside of the realm of Government and so do not demonstrate a violent or controlling tendency.
Now I know there are a lot of people who absolutely will not like this, but it is available for anyone to research. Religions are a product of man, not God. Faith and Religion are separate things, and every time you give a Faith system a name and insist that you are the only one that can talk to God correctly, you have created a religion. Therefore, if you truly want to understand a religion, you have to look at the mindset of the people that created it.
Long winded and I am sorry for that, but until people separate Faith from Religion, there will always be others who "hijack" an established "Governing Religion" for their own purposes.

No. The Bible is clear that there will be no peace for Israel until after the tribulation and His return. Most of the Muslims have been taught that the best way to make "Allah" happy is to destroy Israel and any other country that doesn't believe like they do. This is why they are calling for a 3rd Jihad against Israel. They talk of being peaceful but there leaders teachings are war.
The reason that there is such a problem today is because the line that the Muslim comes from originates clear back to Ishmael and the line that the Jews come from is from Isaac. God told Abraham and Sarah that they would have a son in there old age but Sarah decided that Abraham would get her handmaiden pregnant. Abraham should have disagreed but because they had a lack of faith it occured. Hagar was promised by God after Isaac came that her son, Ishmael, would be a wild man. His hadn shall be against every man and every man's had against him and he would dwell in the presence of his brother. This is why the Muslims war with Israel. Issac was the line through whom the Messiah would come. Israel was and is God's chosen people and it was predicted that this warring would occur as a result of Abraham and Sarah's lack of faith in God's promise.

I have lived in the middle east with a Muslim family. I was told a thousand times if you want peace in the middle east.... Make Israel give back all the land they took. The USA no longer give Israel weapons of mass destruction to use against the Palestinians. The USA to remove all its troops on Arab soil. .... Can it happen Oh how many times I have prayed .... will it happen NO... money and greed for power and control never let it happen. Only God will save US.

Israel must go back to the 1967 border line.
The usa should stop giving Israel boom to boom the Arab as a way of making them accept thing the way the jews want thing to be.
the world need say to us and Israel stealing is stealing, and stop the non sense Israel as the thief is a victim.

I think United States should give some of its land to Jews to settle there, and to create another Jewish state. Isrealis are badly in need of more land. I think Isreal can buy some of the land owned by State Government in Oregon or in any other state if they decide to.

By converting the principle source of energy for vehicles from gasoline to Sun/Solar energy. I guarantee you the conflict would stop! They are not fighting over Religion.
