Your religeon has a poor reputation because a large sect of it beheads people and blows things up. Why don’t you concentrate in reigning those people in instead of trying to convince us.
I would like to correct you, if I may.
Islam and violence are inextricably intertwined. Mohammad used violence himself to advance his own power. The Sunnah and the Hadith, the example and traditions of Mohammad as well as the Koran, indicate that verses which are contradicted by later actions are actually superseded by the later verses and thus no longer operative.
