It is time to realize that God despises violence and despises the ones who engage in it. So, no one kills in the name of Mohamed, Jesus, Allah, Jehovah or, God. They kill because they're ignorant and have not other way of expressing themselves other than violently. We must also remember that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, so we must abolish oppression ism and uphold education and freedom of speech. Once a man is articulate, educated and, has the right to say whatever his heart bears, he feels he can be heard and the world will listen. Once we do those basic things violence will end and peace will reign

It is true Jehovah hates what is bad. His four main atributes are Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power. Notice his first attribute is Love. It is part because of love that we Jehovah's Witnesses do not serve in the military.

What makes you think god despises violence? The bible and koran are both full of passages about god leading armies to war, holy wars, killing enemies, stoning people, cutting off limbs, all in the name of god and for his causes. For somebody who despises violence, he sure encourages a lot of it.
The way to minimize violence is through education, not by appealing to "god" as somebody who hates violence. The fact is god has an awful track record when it comes to violence. Education can help people learn about each other and better accept differences, but please leave that violent god out of it.

Hasn't this God smited cities before?
And to anger him he'll throw his wrathful vengenance on you..yes he sure hates violence.
And knowledge doesn't mean people get any smarter. A well educated man can just carry out more intricate plots than the ignorant man.

pretty arrogant to think you know what the supreme being likes and doesn't like...i mean heck it's pretty arrogant to think someone knows what another HUMAN really likes or dislikes..if GOD, i'm sure you are referring to the christian GOD, dislikes violence so much then why is the bible so full of violance and destruction caused as a direct result of GODs command?
