Answer 1
Islam is not a violent religion. Refer to related questions below.
- Islam is not a violent religion. Some think that because a faction of extremist terrorists act in the name of Islam that this religion is a violent one. In fact, it is actually a peaceful religion. Small numbers of violent extremists make the religion look bad. Terrorists don't have the right idea of Islam.
- No, Islam is not a violent religion as a whole. The Qur'an teaches that all human life is sacred and although you should try to bring peoplethe message of Islam, you should do it in a non-violent way. Islam is derived from the Arabic root "salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience.
- Islam may not be a violent religion per se; however it is breeding terrorist extremism through the teachings of some of its respected clerics. The frequent claims that it is "just a few" or that "these people do not represent true followers of Islam" does not lift responsibility from the religion. Islam has bred this serious and deadly misconception by one means or another and must take a strong role in ending terrorism in its teachings. It will happen in the end, but could happen a whole lot sooner with direct intervention from the Islamic community worldwide.[Hint on this paragraph: There are terrorists of other religion followers and even more than Islam followers. however, no one says that their relevant religions are responsible of their actions. Recall the massacres that happened to Muslims by Christians in Spain and Jerusalem in early history. Recall the massacres that happened to Muslims by Christians in Bosnia. Recall the Massacres that happened to Muslims in Chechen by Russians and in Gaza (Palestine territories) by Israelis and in other parts of the world. It is the media and politicians that exaggerating these issues against Islam to get control of Islamic countries and to execute their political Agendas. Is there any Muslim army in any non Muslim Country? compare with how many non Muslim armies in Islamic countries and judge honestly what they doing].
Answer 2

Of all things a person can find in this world Religion is the worst......
Answer 3
Islam is violent because it has verses calling for violence in the Qur'an. The peaceful verses are abrogated by the more violent verses in the Qur'an. Therefore if you are told that Islam is a peaceful religion it is false!. If you read the Qur'an, Hadiths, and Sunnah you will see that Mohammad called for all the Jews to be exterminated and non believers to be killed if they did not accept Islam. Apostasy is a deadly sin in Islam and carries that death penalty by stoning IAW hadiths. Read and you will understand. Some Qur'anic verses have been provided below for more context:
"And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers." -- 2:191
"O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous." -- 9:123
"And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." -- 9:5
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." Koran 3:85
"The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them."... Koran 9:30
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" Koran 5:33
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." Koran 22:19
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." Koran 8:65
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." Koran 3:28
"Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an." Koran 8:12
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." Koran 8:60
9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter, either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."
Answer 4
All closed religions have violent histories on the part of some followers (closed religions are those who lay proprietary claim to one God; open religions recognize and accept other religious beliefs as valid, so are perhaps less prone to proselytize by the sword. Hence, for example, Islam and Christianity are closed; Buddhism is open). Christians have had millenia of experience killing non-Christians, and even their own in the name of the Holy Trinity. No one religion has a monopoly on violence. Conversely, all such religions have followers who do not espouse violence, so the question is not phrased well. It's important to understand that neither side constitutes a complete definition of the religion. Are there violent elements in the followers of Islam? Yes. Are there peace-loving Muslims? Yes. The same is true of of Christianity and Christians. The fact of being "closed" is in itself an invitation to argument ("My god is bigger than your god, and no, they are not the same"), and the argument tends to be engaged by the most intense adherents, so violence from some quarter is an inevitable consequence of the marriage between that kind of religious dogma and our baser human nature.
Answer 5
No. Peace Love Islamic. In fact Islam is really a peaceful religion but those who accuse it of violence are either liars or ignorant of its beautiful truth.

Who are Boko Haram and what is their mission?
Boko Haram is the Hasua name for The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad. It is a group and militant organization based in the northeast of Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger.
Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by sharia, putting a stop to what it deems Westernization. The group is known for attacking Christians, Muslims and government targets, bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations, and kidnapping western tourists, but has also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment who have condemned their operations over the years. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013.
The group exerts influence in the northeastern Nigerian states of Borno, Adamawa, Kaduna, Bauchi, Yobe and Kano. In this region, a state of emergency has been declared. The group does not have a clear structure or evident chain of command. It is reportedly divided into three factions with a splinter group known as Ansaru. The group's main leader is Abubakar Shekau. Its weapons expert, second-in-command and arms manufacturer was Momodu Bama.
When are terrorists going to go to hell?
Answer 1
There is difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter. The one creates terror but the other fights for freedom. Almighty God will decide who will be sent to hell-the oppressor or freedom fighter. Be bold and don't be afraid of make-believe terrorists. Nothing is going to happen to you.
Answer 2
Since nobody has actually given us a report from within Hell or Heaven, we can only guess where a violent mass-murderer would go based on the Holy Scriptures we have. There does seem to be a general agreement that killing innocents will merit going to Hell, but there is no absolute assurance. Additionally, in order to go to Hell, a terrorist would have to die first. While some are suicide bombers and do that hard work themselves, the remainder have to actually be found by soldiers or policemen and then have to die (either from being killed or by rotting away in prison) before they can go to the Divine sorting process.

How vulnerable is the United States for another terrorist attack?
InterAksyon.com
The online news portal of TV5
WASHINGTON -- The US power grid is susceptible to terrorists and could take weeks or even months to repair if attacked, a study warns.
The findings come shortly after mega storm Sandy hit New York City and the New Jersey coast late last month, causing widespread devastation and outages.
"The US electric power delivery system is vulnerable to terrorist attacks that could cause much more damage to the system than natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, blacking out large regions of the country for weeks or months and costing many billions of dollars," said the report by the National Research Council released Wednesday.
Many parts of the high-voltage system are heavily stressed, leaving it particularly at risk to multiple failures in the wake of an attack. In addition, important pieces of equipment are decades old.
Many key facilities are unguarded and high-voltage transformers are of particular concern because they are vulnerable both from within and from outside substations, the study says.
The transformers, very large in size, are also difficult to replace because most are no longer made in the United States and the delivery time for new ones could run from months to years.
As a solution, the report suggests developing, manufacturing and stockpiling "a family of universal recovery transformers" for temporary use that would be easier to move to where they're needed and "could drastically reduce delays in restoring disabled electric power systems."
The network is also vulnerable to cyber-attacks, the report warned.
"Cyber-attacks are unlikely to cause extended outages, but if well-coordinated they could magnify the damage of a physical attack," it said. "For example, a cascading outage would be aggravated if operators did not get the information to learn that it had started, or if protective devices were disabled."
The National Research Council finished the report in the fall of 2007 and it was then classified by the US Department of Homeland Security.
But the key findings of the report remain "highly relevant," said the report's foreword.
What do you think has been the greatest impact of terrorism on American life?
Stronger security checks on airplanes.
As an example of how this works, the 9/11 attack and its aftermath are ideal. After the event, some elements of law enforcement and -- mostly -- the G.W. Bush administration advanced the opinion that due process as defined under the 4th Amendment and various civil rights acts were too cumbersome for law enforcement to deal with and still apprehend suspects before their escape.
Under protest, the PATRIOT Act was passed. PATRIOT allowed for a huge reduction in individual rights, predominantly in the areas of privacy and due process in favor of "increased national security". The idea is one that's been long-touted in the security community: that security multiplied by civil rights equals a constant. And the fact is that, if we disallow all civil rights, criminal apprehension rates would likely increase. However, so would false arrests and, perhaps more importantly, general freedoms.
As an example, the Dept. of Homeland Security states that the PATRIOT Act advent of warrantless line tapping has resulted in the interdiction of many terrorist plots. However, the DHS will not elaborate on the number of incidents nor the nature of the interdictions -- not even to Senate inquiries. So the proof of this statement is not demonstrable.
In summary, I'd say the reasons the balance between security and freedoms is an issue are twofold: opponents feel that reduction of freedoms is the goal of the attack and far too high a price to pay, even for prevention of further action, and that proof that reduction in freedoms has in fact increased our security is in question.
