Why are some Muslims so violent?

Answer 1

They are commanded to
by their "holy book"

Answer 2

The same reason some jews are violent, christians are violent and any other people from some religion are violent. Just because some of those attacks were made by muslims. Not all muslims are violent. Christianity's History is stained with blood. More then Islam's history is.

Answer 3

Because they really believe that Allah, the name of the islamic God, gave them the authority to subjugate the whole world into a muslim world and they have to use violence as a means to achieve that objective. This is the final command of Allah to the muslims and since they are such staunch muslims, they have to use violence.

Quran 8:39

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.

Quran 9:29

Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah (special tax on non-muslims) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Answer 4

Muslims aren't violent. Infact, muslims are supposed to be peaceful. It is against our religion to kill someone. Trust me, I'm a muslim. Muslims haven't done anything to you. When is the last time you saw a muslim fighting? Have you ever heard a muslim saying bad things to another religion? Well, Muslims aren't supposed to do bad things. If a muslim does these things, then he/she is a bad muslim. Did you know that Islam means peace in arabic? I am a muslim and I speak arabic. Islam means peace. I promise you. A muslim can't break a promise. It's in our hadith:
"He who breaks a promise is not a muslim."
You should read about Islam. I'm not forcing you to become a muslim, I'm just telling you that you should read about it. You will understand that violence is totally the opposite of Islam. Please, do not continue top think that Islam is violent. because it's not. Don't think that because your friends think that. I hope you understand that Islam is peaceful. I hope this helped you!

Answer 5

Ignorance.

The Western Media has caused the west to believe in their point of view, and only giving one side of the story blinds the people viewing: that is almost everybody. It has made its "victims" extremely ignorant, and I am truly proud of those who see through its schemes. The Media has forced its viewers to believe that Islam is a violent, bloody, intolerant religion, but in reality this is actually the opposite. If people would stop accepting their television sets as their teachers, more people would know the actual truth about Islam. The Media reports misleading stories, gross exaggerations, inaccurate information, and false statements about Islam and Muslims to undermine the religion, and unfortunately, this propaganda is a success--many, MANY Americans believe everything they hear on the news or read in the newspaper. What they fail to realize is that what they read/hear is only one point of view of a bias Media that has been criticizing Muslims with false information vigorously since 9/11.

Terrorism is CONDEMNED in Islam; it is not allowed, period. Neither is innocent murder, suicide of any kind, forced marriages or forced conversions. These are all misleading fabrications composed by the Media. You can't always believe what you hear.

Terrorists are not true Muslims; they use Islam as a mask to cover up their dirty work, and give Islam a bad name. Most of them are only Muslim by name, yet are still accused of acting upon Islamic teachings, when in actuality, they are not. It is not fair for the majority of Muslims, who oppose terrorism and denounce violence that is occurring. Unfortunately, the Media will never let this be known, making it look like Muslims support these radical actions, when in reality they absolutely do not.

Please refer to the following video. It is very true, and will provide valuable insight; I strongly recommend watching it:

This site explains why we have violent "Muslims". It explains who they are, how they came upon what they are upon. Below is an excerpt.

"Another different and contemporary usage has appeared for this term. Anybody who belongs to any of the current Qutbist type groups or movements that call for political overthrows, endless blind purported Jihads which are based upon principles other than those found in Islam and led by people who have no knowledge based background in Islamic scholarship..."
