Islam is a violent religion

The information I provide is what I learned, and have cross-checked with other sources. I'll try to be unbiased, but that is difficult when discussing a religion that promotes killing, violence, and other acts of evil. Let's begin by evaluating the roots of IslamThe FounderThis religion was founded by Muhammad, a simple man from the Qurash tribe, who claimed to have a revelation, and went on to spread his faith. The following link {1} highlights the crimes this violent criminal committed throughout his lifetime. From rape, to cold-blooded killing, Muhammad was a criminal and should have been prosecuted for his crimes. However, this did not happen, probably due to the size of his followers. After beings exiled from his home city, Mecca, for his preaching, he and his followers set off to Medina, where they gained more followers. Muhammad built up the army he needed to reconquest his home town.How did he conquer Mecca, the city he was raised in? By ruthlessly murdering hundreds in a surprise attack. Anyone who he thought wronged him, he murdered. Hundreds of women, children. DEAD. The following passage documents his prayers: “Oh Allah, take eyes and ears from the Quraysh [Mecca] so that we may take them by surprise in their land,” and the men got themselves ready. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 808)" {2}When asked to spare mercy on the Meccans, he says: “I have no use for them. As for my cousin, he as wounded my pride; and as for my aunt’s son and my brother-in-law, he spoke insulting of me in Mecca.” (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 811)" {2}Those passages, in and of themselves, shine light on the founder of this religion of violence as a criminal, with no mercy for anyone. But that was not all! He further brought shame to his already dirty name by approving prostitution, marrying multiple women at once (setting the precedent for the common practice among Muslim men today), and raping young girls. {1}All that I have is cross- referenced, and factual. The founder of Islam was a violent criminal, and encouraged violent behavior that would be written in the quran, and followed for generations. The Book The following are passages that have been taken from the quran. Once again, these cannot be argued, for they have been referenced. {3}Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').Quran (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..." This passage invokes their god, and encourages modern Muslims to practice Jihad, even if it means violence. Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." This passage once again uses their god, allah, and claims that followers must punish non-believers, and so will their god. Finally, I would like to conclude with the following: The Muslim faith is indeed a religion of violence. Not only was the religion founded by a murderer, rapist, pedophile, etc., the quran encourages behavior like so, and motivates Muslims with promises of riches, happiness, etc. The facts cannot be refuted. We see the evidence in modern times, as well. Women beaten for having sex with another man, however, men can wed as many women as they want. Women are forced to cover their body under the punishment of death. A tourist, if caught with a Bible, could be captured and killed. ISIS rules over islamic states through fear and oppression, just like the Taliban ruled Afghanistan years ago, and even today. All of this violence for generations has been promoted and encouraged by Islam, a religion of violence. {1}http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com... {2} http://www.thereligionofpeace.com...{3} http://www.thereligionofpeace.com...
