It is utterly misleading to say that Islam is a violent religion. Was Jesus Christ (May peace and blessings be upon him) a violent man? Did he preach violence? Surely NOT. Why have then Christians been bombarding Muslim countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and killing millions of innocent citizens? Should we say, Why is Christianity a violent religion? Surely, Christianity is not a violent religion-some of people who claim to be Christians are violent.
Similarly, Islam is not a violent religion-some of the people who claim to be the Muslims are violent. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are heavenly religions given to mankind by Almighty God. He is kind, merciful and loving. How can He be violent to His own creation? Islam means -peace, complete and unconditional surrender to the will of Almighty God. Almighty God says in the holy Qur'an: "He who kills one innocent human being (He doesn't say an innocent Muslim), Kills all human beings. He who saves the life of one innocent human being, saves all human beings." How can a Muslim be violent? Kings, Emperors, Dictators, certain Priests and religious leaders might have been preaching violence for their vested interests. No religion preaches violence.

I agree fully on the analysis above and like to add the following:
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. Refer to questions below.

Answer: The religion of Mohammed before Islam was the Hanafia Islam, the relegion of Ibrahim peace be upon him i.e. the worship of one Creator "Allah". There were few more people believing in the religion on Ibrahim in Arabia at that time; the relegion was taught by Ismael the Son of Ibrahim...but most people departed from the teachings of Ismael with the passage of time, until the original relegion was restored by Islam and the Quran.
Islam and Catholic/Orthodox Christianity.
Well Islam is the 2nd biggest relegion in the world and whoever goes to the Philippines that is a Muslim can tell others about it and also media and books teach about Islam
the answer to yrr question is that people know the truth but because of the all the lie description about islam people think that ths relegion is the relegion leading a man to terror but the answer is wrong.Islam forbids a man from creating terror as in islam if one man kills some one it is like he has killed the whole of humanity, and if a person saves a person it is like he has saved the whole of humanity. thank you
No. Nor any other religion either.
Islam is always a peaceful religion and never turns to a violent religion. Only some minorities of Muslim extremists; as in all other religions and faiths; are violent.
Not all of them are violent. Christianity and Islam appear to have the worst histories.
