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?

    Objection

    Muslim world isn't just Saudi Arabia. Majority of Muslims who knows İslam condemns Saudi Arabia, also their sect Vahhabism is condemned and rejected by majority of Ehl-i Sunna scholars therefore first thing Vahhabi Arabs did when they captured Meccah and Medinah was killing Sunni Muslim scholars. Meanwhile the biggest supporters of this oppressive and condemned regime is still USA.
