Does religion make Muslims more violent?

[doppelganger]

I just asked a Christian friend of mine "Hey dude, do you believe Adam was Muslim."

His reply "That's some good s.hit you're smoking this weekend."

He asked whether it was Afghan or Malana.

He was confused.

I find Buddhist the most peaceful and Muslims the least but again it depends from person to person

Ya true for only Tibetan Buddshist.

Don't want to take the debate further? I was just getting warmed up.

Not only that but oblivious of history and anthropology too. Who were/are Japanese? Muslims? Has world seen more cruel and aggressive fighters than Japanese? And if we go little backward in history, who were Mongols and Tatars?

It amazes me when people make such sweeping statements while having such pathetic general knowledge.

Muslim countries have an average of 2.4 murders per annum per 100,000 people: statistics . PHOTO: AFP

Any discussion on terrorism, almost always circles back to the widespread belief that Muslims are more violent because of their religion, Vox reported.

Although these conversations may always circle back to the bigoted question of whether religion makes Muslims more violent, they lack data and evidence to attribute violent behavior to Muslims.

According to UC-Berkeley Professor M Steven Fish, people in Muslim majority countries actually tend to be significantly less violent, judging by murder rates.

Statistics show that Muslim countries have an average of 2.4 murders per annum per 100,000 people in stark contrast to 7.5 murders in non-Muslim countries.

The percentage of Muslims is an extraordinarily good predictor of a country’s murder rate, the professor found.

To provide some concrete evidence, Fish used his findings and re-run the numbers to exclude non-Muslim majority states -such as Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, South Africa and Venezuela-with extraordinarily high murder rates. Those countries with many Muslim inhabitants were still less prone to murders by a large margin.

If Islam was the key factor in the cause of religiously motivated terrorism then it could be expected that ordinary Muslims too would be more violent than ordinary non-Muslims. However, there are over a billion believing Muslims globally and if Islam was intrinsically prone to violence then the data would suggest that. The data however, is quite contrary.

Despite this study, it goes without saying that religiously motivated terrorism is indeed a real phenomenon and a global problem. Fish argued that such terrorism could be a reaction to the Western foreign policy.

The data provided by Fish should be an important reminder that just like other religions, Islam too prohibits violence. Although it is dependent on who is interpreting Islam, it can be said that Islam is not intrinsically violent.

Meaningless cherry picked research. There are a hundred odd papers that prove quite the opposite. Convicted murders is no way to prove which followers of religion tend toward violence.

Call it one of the most peaceful religion.

It is not.

 

[utraash]

1. jainism is not some socialistic belief that got rid of india's oppressive family and social culture... it continued those.

2. it was a jain monk who convinced chandragupta maurya to commit suicide by voluntary starvation... that is murder... that monk was a murderer yet that is insanely celebrated.

First point reflects to your credentials n none can neat you on that except Gaddafi Taau....

Second point
That called Fasting(Self starvation) .... He did not harm others m chose to listen his conscience whatever it was ... By that logic tomorrow you would say Buddha was also cruel to himself by renouncing the world while born into Royal family ....
None jainis follow the fast unto death not a religious practice .....

What is concept when Muslim celebrated"Maatam" ... Is not more cruel practice ?

No Religion says that we should harm others

You need to start re-reading. Start with the Old Testament.

 

[doppelganger]

Sure.

Lets call a spade a spade and give this whole religion of peace thing a vacation till we can see some results on the ground.

 

[utraash]

Hence goes my first comment
the most violent are Muslims and least are Buddhist acc to me
you can say that Jains are least violent but I won't be able to comment bcuz I haven't met too many of them
maybe you are right

That's what I m saying jainis are least in that category.....
