It's dependent on the follower. They have the choice to be violent or not, I don't hold such against the religion itself.

Notice how there isn't a Qur'an 2 that only violent Muslims read, there's only one Qur'an.

No, very few religions could actually be "of peace" most have their violent parts, and their peaceful parts in equal measure.

it can be both peace like sufi branches or it can be violent like Wahhabi islam which is the most conservative form. frankly I do not believe wahhabis should even be allowed in europe.

Well, no.

Islam is, at least at its foundations, a warrior's religion, like Sikhism. That doesn't mean it's reducible to a bunch of half-wits with AK-47's screaming "Allahu Akbar" at the top of their lungs, but it certainly is not a religion of peace. It was founded by a warlord, after all.

Guys! Stop jumping down Hatootehland's throat! This is one of the SJ community's main gripes- as soon as someone says something, we're all down everyone's throats! Let them speak their opinion, please.

I agree wholeheartedly. I think we could historically say that Islamic institutions have had a difficult relationship with violence and at the same time not stone all modern Muslims.

Christianity might be violent but atleast it reformed and it's prophet wasn't fucking violating woman.

Besides Christians cherry pick their verses.
