Is Islam a peaceful religion?
I wanted to find out on my own and did a little research. This is what I found.
You can try to prove me wrong, maybe there is something I don't know.
Be objective.
Quran (8:12)
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Quran (9:30)
"And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
Quran (3:151)
"Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".
"joined companions with Allah" = Christian's Holy Trinity indirectly.
Bukhari (52:177)
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Bukhari (52:256)
The Prophet... was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)."
In this command, Muhammad establishes that it is permissible to kill non-combatants in the process of killing a perceived enemy. This provides justification for the many Islamic terror bombings.
Quran (2:191-193)
"And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun [the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.]"
Quran (4:95)
"Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-"
Peaceful Muslims who do not join in the violence are less worthy in Allah's eyes
Quran (9:38-39)
"O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place." This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.
This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with hell
Quran (9:111)
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme."
Those who die fighting for Allah will go to heaven.
Quran (9:14)
"Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people."
Humiliating and hurting non-believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment and even "healing" the hearts of Muslims.
Quran (4:89)
"They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."
Quran (5:33)
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Quran (9:29)
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
"People of the Book" refers to Christians and Jews.
Quran (8:65)
"O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight..."

It's easy to cherry-pick negative quotes from any religious text and use them to label the entire religion aggressive or whatever. The same can be done with the Bible.

Absolutely not, but neither are most of the main religions.

sayings from the prophet
"All God’s creatures are His family; and he or she is the most beloved of God who tries to do most good to God’s creatures."
"Verily, god is mild, and is fond of mildness, and he giveth to the mild what he doth not to the harsh."
"God is not merciful to him who is not so to mankind."
"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever has not kindness has not faith."
"Deal gently with the people, and be not harsh; cheer them and condemn them not."
"The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self."
"The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr."

Yes it's the most peaceful religion in existence .
U should read the Whole Quran not just pick verses.
The verse could mean alot different if U try to read the whole thing from start to finish.

Nope. None of the religions are peaceful. They are all a shitload of hate sugarcoated in a masquerade of "good morals"

I'm not religious myself but I know so many great Muslim people, it's all about the people rather than the book. I don't think any religion is better than the other to be honest. I mean Christians still think being gay is a sin.

It's a boatload of bad ideas, many of which contradict each other and some of which are insanely violent. Virtually all religions are. They're made by man centuries ago who was even more fault-ridden than today so they inherited those faults.

So peaceful that it inspires extremists like ISIS.
Hinduism is probably the most peaceful religion.

The problem with Islam is, that the quran is literally the word of God, in the thora and the Bible it's only the Ten
Commandments.

You don't have to respect my religion at all, and I could care less whether you do or not. It just says a lot about your character, what type of person you are, and how ironic it is that you expect people to tolerate your sexual orientation and all the idiosyncrasies in your $hitty personality.

And isolating a few verses from the Quran and putting it up to your own interpretation does not condone research
Most of these verses are in relation to historical times when Muslims were undergoing persecution and oppression.

Sexuality is not a choice. Rationality is.
