[Deathstar 80]

Yes, the Quran does encourage violence, but so does the Bible.

I think the old testament of the bible sometimes encourages violence (but I don't really know the old testament very much because I don't read it very much), but the new testament encourages peace, kindness, etc. Here are a few bible verses I found:

Galatians 5:16-23
16) I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19) Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20) idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21) envy, murders,[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Matthew 5:44
44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

All of these bible verses were taken from the King James Version.

I don't mean to offend you with this post or anything, ukyfootball. I just wanted to help a little with this.
