Does religion make Muslims more violent?

[hunter_hunted]

Yes it does. Islam is a religion that preaches violence/crime on non-muslims, while teaching to muslims to repect only one another.


neither was OBL

First i dont know OBL nor i give a shist. But atleast i dont have to listen to a dot head indians who elect a murderer as their PM.

People are shitty in general anyway....they wil always fight about something...and always look for new excuses...my country is an example....we can't afight about race...we can't fight about religion....so we have politics to fight about!

 

[Screambowl]

why there is a need to advertize Islam or claim to be peaceful? That is the problem, that every muslim comes up with an explanation and description of Islam, when others are not interested to know.

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.

my answer is no.....is been 10 year i am living in muslim country .......always surrounded by muslim
based on my experience i can say violence and intolerance is culture issue not religious.......

 

[Levina]

It is not.

Kyun bhai??
Just because Quran was misinterpreted by a few galoots doesnt mean Islam as a religion propagates violence. And self defence in any religion is allowed.

I was also under the same impression(no religion teaches to harm) until read those .....
@levina suggesting you to read little deeper.....

I bet she knows. But won't put it in words here.

Nope.
I dont know about it.
A close friend of mine who was a muslim used to always say that Islam was misinterpreted. And I believed him, never felt the need to do research on this subject.

 

[DrawingDead]

just a simple question, Do you know Adam also a Prophet of Islam ?

Just because you claim something doesn't make it yours. Adam is part of the Jewish tradition adopted by Christians and Muslims. Kinda like name-dropping to get into a restaurant without reservation.

 

[Norwegian]

This thread is unnecessarily hyped up into oblivion. Its nothing special that is presented in this report. We all know religious extremists exist in every religion. So nothing new here obviously.

talking about yourself lol

 

[DrawingDead]

Oh please, not again how many Minorities did hindus kill.
Hindus don't go around blowing themselves up around the world like one particular community does, the whole world knows,who does that.
President of Usa can say anything he likes, its not his country nor do we tolerate his meddling in our Internal affairs.
The same President of USA didn't speak a word in Saudi Arabia or other islamic nations he visited.So we know what he is made up of.Lecture people who don't attack about the need to be more liberal, but never even utter a word liberal, to people who are extremists.

In President Obama's defense, he can only make that statement in a country with some semblance of religious freedom. It would be a little awkward If he did that in a theocratic state.

First i dont know OBL nor i give a shist. But atleast i dont have to listen to a dot head indians who elect a murderer as their PM.

@Chak Bamu @Horus @mods please have a peek here there is alot of Indian cockroaches infestation and it smells of indian

Ok OBL was protettcted by Pakistan army living in their cantonment area with his many wives until Amricans came in and put a red dot on his head lol. Hope you know of him now.
Modi (may Gods blessings be upon him) saved millions of muslims in riots within a few months of becoming CM for the first time in his life. He is truly a Gods messenger on earth.

if there are cockroaches don't go crying to papa, you need to try and kill it yourself. try to be a man... for once

 

[DrawingDead]

talking about yourself lol

I've tried it. Never tried Adam though, I bet I could have gotten in if I had

well keep it mind then lol

 

[Skull and Bones]

My vote is on 'illiteracy'.

 

[paki_rambo]

Islam does not have concept of violence.Hate speech in the name of freedom of speech is the cause of instigating such action

That's ok.... But if you wish to concrete your beliefs then do it by your own research....
One of my friend threw a challenge to me to do some research in same manner as I was believing(like you) upon a wrong version... After that It was like a shock to know those things .....
Misinterpretation is not the case either n certain things are very specific which does need any SME.... I hope you will do understand it n take it seriously however doesn't need to harbour any hatreds towards any one.....
Sorry if my above suggestion offends you .....
