Like I said many time before Rayaan, if violence wasn't the standard it wouldn't be the only thing plastered all over the known world. Everywhere Islam exists, you can be damn sure to find extreme violence in the name of Allah. As much as I hate christianity, that is not the case. Have you typed in the words, "peaceful Islam" into google images yet?
I did type the words "peaceful Islam" into google images.
Here it is:
http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl...1251l3.6.1
However, there is a story behind all of those pictures, and you can't know them just from looking at the pictures, and these pictures do not represent the behavior of each and every of the world's billions of Muslims. There are both political and psychological factors at play which leads to the dominance of that particular viewpoint of Islam on such matters.
The thing is that you believe that corporate media reported events of violence of the past decade are representative of Islam, but if you were to actually look in through accepted methods of research, you will find out how the house of cards were built by the media and politicians and the self-proclaimed sham artists milking the current Anti-Muslim climate for making their own book deals, TV interviews, and honorariums. Instead of the hate sites and the hate books, you should read things which are from peer reviewed and academic sources and not from the so called ex-Muslims who are now on the speaking circuit funded by ultra right wing Christians and politicians. But, research requires effort. You cannot achieve this just by going to google images.
