no. Muslims are generally peaceful...more in fact than Christians. It is the fundamentalists who do all the violence in this world.
( fundamental Christians are the same as Islamic extremists AKA gay people should die, abortion doctors should die, but terry shivo should live)

Not any more ironic than the fact that Christians, derived from the word Christ, which refers to a radical pacifist, are some of the least peace-seeking people in the history of humanity. I think more Christians have started wars than any other religious group over the last 2000 years.

Hi. I have read that more people have been killed for religious reasons than any other. People are willing to die for their faith, especially if the afterlife is their GOAL in life.

not ironic as there are many of any religion who are not practicing what their religious belief systems are based on.
