WHY MUSLIMS ARE VIOLENT

This is pretty straight forward folks. There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Violence is not an aberration in Islam—it is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them. For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12. These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.

While there are passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:190, 2:256, 5:8, 5:28, 5:32, 8:61, 29:46, 41:34, 109:6), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated, i.e. superseded, by the violent ones—because the violent ones were written later, after Muhammad’s move to Medina (from Mecca). Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesus’ teachings to “turn the other cheek” and to “love your neighbor.”

You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages. For example, to “fight” really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow. See this link:

Not all Muslims are terrorists.

Maybe not all muslims are terrorists, but by the time you account for the terrorists, those who support them, those who condone their actions and those who remain silent you're down to five or six muslims who actually aren't part of the problem.

Now hold on Obama! It was not people here in this country who identified terrorism with Islam. It was the 9/11 terrorists, the clowns in Libya, The evil bastards beheading people in Iraq and Syria. It was adherents to Islam itself in all cases.

A man is a phony if he hides from what everybody is saying and makes up his own story. That is what Obama is doing. He says Islamic State is not Islamic. He will not talk of the crud who pulled off 9/11. He claims the people in Libya were not Islamic. What were they, Christian? Obama is an out and out liar. They are Islamic, all of them.

Yeah, I would't exactly equate Islam and terrorism.

But the unusually strong CORRELATION between Islam and terrorism is obvious to everyone.

For a supposed Christian and American, he sure does spend a whole lot of time defending and promoting Islam.

What about those Mennonites that blew up that gas station? Oh, that didn’t really happen?

Does spray painting count as terrorism?
