Does Islam Promote Violence?

For most Americans, Islam was a religion that lived on the periphery of their lives, a culture they caught glimpses of in movies and television shows. Then came the tragic events of 9/11, and suddenly the Western world was desperately grasping to understand a religion they knew precious little about. With all the questions swirling around the true nature of Islam, none has been asked more than this: Does Islam promote violence?

Avoid the Double Standards

When the state of Israel employs a policy of oppression against Palestinians, it is not regarded as “Jewish” violence.  When Serbia committed genocide against Bosnians and other Muslims in the Balkans, it was not regarded as a “Christian” aggression.  In both examples, groups and states invoke their defense of religion and of their national identity to justify violence.  Hence, there is a double standard when reporting on violence.
