Who teaches violent Islam?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Islam is never a violent religion. Islam calls for peace and justice and good morals. If Islam calls for defending your lands and properties (called military Jihad) it does not mean violence. If Islam calls Muslims to struggle within themselves to be in the right path of God and not to commit sins, it does not mean violence, Islam calls for peace and tolerance and forgiveness.

Western media and politicians propagate false ideas about Islam to have control over Muslim countries and to resist the Islam religion propagation through convert of non Muslims to Islam.

Answer 2

Let me make it clear that the overwhelming majority of Muslims and the majority of Islamic leaders do not promote violence. However, this question is not asking about those people, but for leaders and organizations who are devout Muslims and who do advocate for violence. Some examples include:

• Ayatollah Khamanei who advocated for violence against Iranian Mossavi Protesters across Iran and demands the mass slaughter of Jews in Israel.
• Ayatollah Khomeini who called the Iran-Iraq War a "holy mission" for Muslims to devote themselves. (Note: he could have easily justified his war on political grounds, but chose not to, appealing to his religious faith.)
• The Taliban repressed women and brutally tortured their opponents, believing that they had the right to implement the harshest forms of human indecency because of their religion.
• Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, an Iraqi Ayatollah claimed that suicide bombers that kill civilians are blessed by God and therefore do not need an Imam to bless their errand.
• The Saudi chief of Islamic Affairs (Sheikh Saleh Al-Sheikh) also claimed that suicide bombers were martyrs for God's causes.
• Anjem Choudary, leader of the now-banned British Islamist organization Al-Muhajiroon, claimed it is an "obligation upon Muslims everywhere to support the Jihad against those who fight Muslims anywhere in the world or who occupy Muslim land".
