You could take ANY religion and find some parts of the scriptures that could be used to support violence. For that matter, you can find contradictions too. This is equally true of my own religion of Judaism as anywhere else. What matters is the overall way in which the religion is understood by the majority of its followers and how it is worked with, how those contradictions are managed. I don't deny that Islam seems to have more than its fair share, currently, of people who believe violence to be an appropriate response to what they perceive as failures in society, but it still isn't a majority view. Mainstream Islam is strongly about peace and tolerance. Don't forget the violence meted out by Christians (not only historically in the Crusades and the Inquisition, but in more recent contexts), Hindus (against Muslims in India), even Buddhists. All these are quite explicitly peaceful religions (well, I don't know enough about Hinduism but I do know that Gandhi was a Hindu and his approach of ahimsa was a key thread in Hinduism) and yet they can produce violent groups. Picking on Islam isn't hugely helpful, as it tends to alienate the peaceful and thoughtful Muslims.

The Koran teaches love and giving completely to God. Islam uses the Koran, but I am afraid that is as far as it goes. In every religion there are radicals and as with the Bible, the Koran is used to justify actions and words.

I often wonder how people can acquaint with being a good Muslim or Christian when they see the holy books and teachings being used to justify killing, hatred, crimes, and even the assisting of these persons doing these actions in the name of Allah or Christ.

The truth is that the people who use the holy word to back up their own perverted feelings are heathen. This includes the bigot. True submission to God means doing God's work by following the teachings of God either through the Prophet or the Son

Yes, it means complete submission to God. When Islam has converted every man, woman, and child to Allah, then there will be unity of faith, and therefore peace.

Oh yes, and those that don't want to convert will be killed. Have you even read the Qu'ran, and the Hadith?

Submission, and intolerance.
Sounds like Fascism to me.

Some understand that Islam means submission to God.

What trumps the Islamic understanding is, what some of the Muslim believers are doing under that submission.

have you even looked at the news lately?

riots and killing over cartoons.

sunni and shiite car bombs and suicide bombs going off killing hundreds of people.

oh yeah, the largest majority of Terrorist orginizations in the world are based in Islam.

and yet no matter how hard i listen i can not seem to hear any of the so called peacful or moderate muslim's denouncing the violence that is done in the name of their religion..

christianity has the same problem, but they have not been near as radical in recent years, they are happy trying to make their religion a law...which is still wrong.

We think Islam means terrorism because every terrorist that I am aware of is Muslim. Christians have always corrected the evil that has called itself Christian. Can Islam put its actions where it's mouth is? If you are all about peace then show us. Right now you are terrorist and the enemy. Change it.

I could care less what it means. Any 'religion' that teaches that Jesus was a great prophet, but not the Son of God, was not divine, and was not crucified, and teaches that Muhammad was the greatest prophet and his message supercedes all other prophets including Jesus, is not worth even hearing about, to me. Good luck. Don't try to tell Jesus or God on judgement day that you didn't know that you were wrong. It won't wash.

I'm sure they do (people of the world)

Religions is what's gonna do us in.
Because of them, people are blinded to the fact that we all SHARE this earth and are equally entitled to it.
Ever watch the show Wife Swap?
a while back they had a christian lady on there who was spewing hatred towards non-believers and was a prime example of what is wrong with religion.
Sad thing is that like her there are many on this earth.

Dunno, could it be the Quran?.....

Death for apostasy (Leaving Islam):
Sura 4:89: They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,”

Kill Disbelievers in a cruel fashion:
Sura 5:33: "Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom."

Slit throats of unbelievers:
Sura 47:4: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

Amputation for petty theft:
Sura 5:38: Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.

Killing unbelievers:
Sura 9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

Dont be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Sex slaves are permitted:
Sura 4:24 Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess.

Kill disbelievers:
Sura 2:191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Permission for a muslim man to beat his wife if she doesnt obey him:
Sura 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and **beat them**; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Fight disbelievers:
Sura 9:29: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Because, with only one exception, every terrorist act in the past 30 years has been committed by Muslims. Of course, the vast majority of Muslims abhor this as much as anyone else does, but the bad apples are infecting the entire barrel. (The one exception: the Oklahoma City bombing.)
