@BADecker: You must understand that there are sites which spread false things. So I asked you to put the verses, so I can know which one you think is "violent". How can we know which verses are violent for you? Or just copy-paste from a site and put the link to the site. As I have said earlier, please don't quote out-of-context verses. You must check whether they are in context verses or not.
WTF?
"Defending yourself" is de facto violent.
The Christian equivalent might be to "turn the other cheek." (Not that many actually do that, but some do, like the Quakers.)
What Jesus said is to do good, not "offer other cheek". I mean it is an indirect sentence.
I can also show you many good things done by Muhammad(PBUH).
The Qur'an says in the subject of surrendering one’s right to exact vengeance from another, “Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better: then will he between whom and you was hatred become as it were your friend and intimate.” (41: 34)
“But if the enemy incline towards peace, do you [also] incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is the one that hears and knows [all things].” (8: 61)
You must remember that non-muslims at the time of Muhammad(PBUH) were attacking muslims and hurting, torturing, killing etc... So Qur'an said to defend because they haveno other choices. If you and your family is tortured and killed for many years, are you going to offer the other people/cheek/body or will you defend yourself and them? Isn't it obvious?
