Robert Spencer is another person who makes his agenda to prosecute 3 billion people based on his interpretation of how things are written. He also likes to take things out of context. I can take any book and make it look like it is made to incite people to kill somebody if I just use quotes out of context. The best advice I can give you is to keep an open mind and treat each person as an individual and make up your mind on things YOU experience. Just as I would tell any Muslim that thinks Allah has ordered them to kill people in His name to read Koran themselves, not someones interpretation, and see if that has ever been said.

3billion lol. Since when?
You seem to be iperating on the assumption that islam is innocent in all the violence. The violent veraes of which there are over 100 in the quran clearly prove otherwise. Sure it's not all violent and we can debate contexts and politics. But this religious based violence is a direct result of such teachings. Robert Spencer is a good guy who used to train the fbi on islamic terror. The good thing about a book is you can read it and that is not interpretation. If it says do x and someone does x then that is what the book does. It has peaceful verses from when Muhammad was a weak man but when he gained power the verses became more violent. He even killed critics who posed no threat to him, even a elderly man. You need to stop giving islam a innocence it never deserved and start recognising it's violence. The problem is not the violent verses but rather what muslims and their leftist supporters do about them. To say it's not violent is to say "Move along people, no problem here, keep moving nothing to see here!". Religions biggest flaw was always it's unwillingness to change with the times.
Sorry, an overestimate, 1.8 billion. That is still a lot more then if you combine all the people in North America and Europe. My point is, if from 1.8 billion people all were violent f##kers and were trying to kill everyone, world would be way worse off then it is now. As for those that act the way they do, I completely agree, they are scum that needs to be routed out. Calling all Muslims like that is acting like Hitler and saying all Jews should die. And yes, Koran is full of violent verses, but if you read carefully those depict either God's punishment in the past, or warning for the future. None of those incite people to do those things. It is clearly stated that all punishment related to religion, not real world crime, is done by God. It is also described that only God can know what persons sins are and what his fate is, and to kill a person because of religion is to rob him or her the chance to redeem themselves. The same mistake was done by Catholic Church during dark ages. Nowhere in Bible does it say you should kill anyone due to religion, yet crusaders took it upon themselves to act like God and decide who needs punishment. And even back then you had orders within the church, such as Order of St. Francis, who did marvelous good deeds and tried to stop the idiocy.
Extremism is the worst part of human nature, even while we all tilt to it a bit. As such, we should always be careful of not becoming what we are fighting against.
