Is Islam more or less violent in Its teachings then other religions?

[Dystopia]

The Nazis may have been Christians on paper, but you can't justify the whole holocaust with the bible - Not to mention that Hitler's eugenics program is highly incompatible with religion and founded on secular principles and pseudo-Darwinian science - I think religion was a useful tool for National-Socialism but in the end, like I've argued already, it is highly incompatible with fascism to promote fundamentalist religious thought because you can only worship one entity at a time. Race purity, improving the genetic components of a population, genocides, etc, were not based on Christianity - In fact, I think because of the whole help the poor and weak stuff eugenics is repelled by most churches.


As for Islam, I think it depends on the country and the person. Like Reza Aslan said, any interpretation or approach to religion is valid as long as you justify it. You can be a Muslim and think that the Quran is the literal word of god and that Sharia should be 100% applied. You can be a Muslim and think what matters is promoting good and peace and so even other believers and non-believers can enter heaven. You can be a Muslim for cultural reasons and rarely read the Quran or pray. You can be a Muslim who thinks the Quran was highly influenced by the warfare mentality of the time and believe it should be interpreted according to modern liberal human rights' ideas. You can be a Muslim and think state and religion are one (and the opposite too). You can be a Muslim and a feminist, and a Muslim and an anti-women bigot; you can be anti-gay or pro-same sex equality. There's flavours for everyone..

Are there more Muslim terrorists than Christian ones? Oh god, yes.. But Christians have no reason to be terrorists, it's not like their families are being persecuted and murdered for oil.
