Is it real that every Muslim is a terrorist?

Answer 1

Not everyone who follows the Islamic faith is a terrorist. there is a passage in the Quran that many Muslims and non Muslims interpret as a command to kill all non-Muslims,however many Muslims do not believe that interpretation.

Answer 2

No. Most Muslims are peaceful. As far as the evidence goes, most Muslims are peaceful. Islamic terrorism is a very small percentage of the Muslim population, just as terrorists in general are a minimal part of the population. Terrorists make up less than 1% of Muslims (it is estimated that there are roughly 300,000 Jihadists in the world out of 1.6 billion Muslims). The reason that this <1% of Muslims are so infamous is that Jihadists are responsible for an inordinate share of casualties from terrorism. In the last ten years, over 85% of terrorist incidents and 85% terrorist-related fatalities were perpetrated by Muslims.
