so you dont believe statistics in believing islam is peacefull, so you convince your self through individual extreme cases to make a point. but individual extreme cases happen in both direction.

so the only way our argument can go anywhere is if you only opened the quran and read it your self. make sure when you buy a quran you get one with many foot notes since there are a lot of references to individual battles when mohammed took over mecca after being persecuted by mecca. i read in the quran and also wrote already an article summing up some misconceptions about it that i found.

often things we dont understand seem more scary and we tend to fear ideologies that do not resemble our own, not realizing they are 2 sides of the same coin.
