You're talking about the extremists killings, that's not Islam. You do need some history on this...Christianity, Judaism and Islam are all branches of the same root.
Christianity believes that Jesus is God/Son of God and was crucified.
Judaism and Islam do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
That's the short version...

Islam DOES not teach killing in fact a saying of the prophet says that killing someone is like killing all. The prophet married Aisha when she was nine but i have heard he did not live with her until she became of age so one can not get married until puberty. and men dont beat there wives(only in games :D) and the goat thing ummmmmmm well i have no idea what and where you got that from. I'm hope this answers your questions. Read the Quran and go to your local mosque for more information.
(muslims please correct me if i have put down any wrong info)
May God guide us all on the straight path and forgive us for our sins

Short version of islam is that there is only one God. That he sent several Prophets to spread his message and Muhammad (pbuh) was the last Prophet. Muslims believe that the Bible Torah and Quran were sent by God. We believe that Prophet Isa (Jesus) will return near the day of judgement as messiah (similar to christian beliefs). We believe that faith alone does not get you to heaven goodness is equally important.
Islam does not allow marriages before puberty. Killing is the 2nd biggest sin in islam. Muhammad (pbuh) never beat his wives and also told his followers not to do so. uhh and the goat part is also wrong...dont know where you heard that from. and i have no idea what jageshemsh is.

Islam means peace. Islam teaches that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came after Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus will return to earth like in christianity but judism doesn't not believe in the return of Jesus.
Men do not beat their wives, cannot marry before puberity, does not teach killing. In fact the Quran says that................. "If a man killeth one man it is like killing all mankind and if a man saves one life it is as if saving all mankind".
and I'll ignore the nonsense goat thing.....
Islam practices the 5 Pillars
1. Faith
2.Prayer
3.THE 'ZAKAT' meaning charity
4.Fasting..(Ramadan)
5.PILGRIMAGE (HAJJ)... pilgrimage to Mecca
wash your hands and read the Quran for all of the truth
Allah Akbar! God is Great!

short versions lead to misunderstandings which lead to people getting hurt. read the long version.

i know plenty of good muslims. none of them would ever even think of a child in that way, they don't want to kill anyone, they probably never went anywhere near a goat, and they do not beat their wives.
the killing and beating is common in many developing countries in undeveloped areas, muslim or not.

ISLAM
A religion deeply respected by most people.A religion about love, truth and peace. A religion that ALLAH created and HE is the MERCIFUL & THE MASTER OF THE WORLDS.There is no other GOD but only ALLAH.
The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.
Islam is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man.
