They are burning down churches and demanding the death penalty because a Christian man insulted Islam and the Prophet. How is that NOT representing and defending Islam?

Not really ... "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (Surah 2:256).

They are defending Islam in a very destructive and un-Islamic way. We are not supposed to kill someone just because he or she insulted the Prophet (pbuh).

Really? then explain the following...

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power." Ashraf was a poet, killed by Muhammad's men because he insulted Islam. Here, Muhammad widens the scope of his orders to kill. An innocent Jewish businessman was then slain by his Muslim partner, merely for being non-Muslim.

Full of lot of little gems about peaceful co-existence with non muslims.

All from your book of peace.

From wikipedia:
Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf (Arabic: كعب بن الاشرف‎) (died 624) was a chief of the Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir and a poet, who plotted with Quraysh and a group of Jews to fight against Muslims and assassinate the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was assassinated by Muslims on the order of Muhammad before he could carry out his plans.

So, that's why the Prophet ordered his army to kill Ashraf as well as the rest of the Jews, which was done for self-defense because they were planning to assassinate the Prophet.

Tell me, Rayaan, are you also naive enough to believe that the Poles attacked Germany in 1939?

So, when ARE you supposed to kill someone?

And if you're not supposed to kill someone for insulting your "prophet", why are there hordes of people looking to kill every time there is some perceived insult? The killers of Theo Van Gogh comes to mind. As do the mobs who demanded death for the editors of newspapers who published pictures of Mohammed. Not to mention all the retards who wanted to kill a school teacher for allowing her class to name a teddy bear "Mohammed".

Islam - the religion of perpetual outrage.
