why are muslims so violent?

They're actually willing to die for what they believe. That's part of their religious struggle.

The reilgion focuses on performance of belief rather than anctual belief. It has a legal system, competing madhabs, has a view of literal unchanging eternal and perfect text which is the literal word of God, and finally said text has a series of commands to fight war. It also enshrines certain Arabic tribes as superior to others. Muhammad who is the eternal baseline standard and perfect human in Islam was also violent warlord.

Here are some examples. I am focusing on the Koran but remember the various Islamic aqidahs and madhabs also use sirah and hadith.

Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Quran 9:29


The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Quran 5:33-34

O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.
Quran 5:54
Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.
Quran 16:106
Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. You are not a watcher over them; But whoever turns back and disbelieves, Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
Qur'an 88:21-24

216 Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.
217 They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
Quran 2:216-217

Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory.
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
Quran 22:39-40

nd when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Quran 9:5

Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Quran 9:29

O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.
Quran 9:123

As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.
Quran 5:38

These are on the superiority of Arabs, here referring to the Quraish tribe mainly.

God had chosen [istafa; lit. "taken 'the best' from"[2]] Adam and Noah and the families of Abraham and 'Imran in preference to others. They were descendants of one another; and God hears all and knows everything.
Quran 3:33-34

The desert Arabs [al-a'raab[4]; the Bedouins] say, "We believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say, 'We have submitted our wills to Allah,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if ye obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of your deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Quran 49:14

This is about how much he hates the jews and how disfavored they are now.

Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil;- these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path!"
Quran 5:60

Say: "O you Jews, if you claim that you are the favourites of God apart from all men, then wish for death, if you speak the truth.
Quran 62:6

When they dishonoured their pledge We condemned them, and hardened their hearts. So they distort the words of the Scripture out of context, and have forgotten some of what they were warned against. You will always hear of treachery on their part except that of a few. But forbear and forgive them, for God loves those who do good.
Quran 5:13

Compared to judeochristianity is very peaceful

These are considered authenticated materials from the hadith on the superiority of arabs.

Wathila b. al-Asqa' reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinana from amongst the descendants of Isma'il, and he granted eminence to the Quraish amongst Kinana, and he granted eminence to Banu Hashim amonsgst the Quraish, and he granted me eminence from the tribe of Banu Hashim.
Sahih Muslim 30:5653


arrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Authority of ruling will remain with Quraish, even if only two of them remained."
Sahih Bukhari 4:56:705

It has been narrarted on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: People are subservient to the Quraish: the Muslims among them being subservient to the Muslims among them, and the disbelievers among the people being subservient to the disbelievers among them.
Sahih Muslim 20:4473

When crusaders came the first reaction was absolute shock because muslims were not used to genocidal armies purposefuly murdering innocents, they didn't do it, persians didn't, even byzantines did not

Here are some materials authenticated again showing that Muhamamd, who is the eternal standard set standards in war. Including killing children and women.


Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sad's judgment, Allah's Apostle sent for Sad who was near to him. Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Apostle said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sad came and sat beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people are ready to accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah."

Sahih Bukhari 4:52:280


Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Some people (i.e. the Jews of Bani bin Quraiza) agreed to accept the verdict of Sad bin Muadh so the Prophet sent for him (i.e. Sad bin Muadh). He came riding a donkey, and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet said, "Get up for the best amongst you." or said, "Get up for your chief." Then the Prophet said, "O Sad! These people have agreed to accept your verdict." Sad said, "I judge that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives." The Prophet said, "You have given a judgment similar to Allah's Judgment (or the King's judgment)."

Sahih Bukhari 5:58:148

It has been narrated on the authority of A'isha who said: Sa'd was wounded on the day of the Battle of the Ditch. A man from the Quraish called Ibn al-Ariqah shot at him an arrow which pierced the artery in the middle of his forearm. The Messenger of Allah (may peacce be upon him) pitched a tent for him in the mosque and would inquire after him being in close proximity. When he returned from the Ditch and laid down his arms and took a bath, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and he was removing dust from his hair (as if he had just returned from the battle). The latter said: You have laid down arms. By God, we haven't (yet) laid them down. So march against them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) asked: Where? He poirftad to Banu Quraiza. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) fought against them. They surrendered at the command of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), but he referred the decision about them to Sa'd who said: I decide about them that those of them who can fight be killed, their women and children taken prisoners and their properties distributed (among the Muslims).

Sahih Muslim 19:4370


It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Jews of Banu Nadir and Banu Quraizi fought against the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) who expelled Banu Nadir, and allowed Quraiza to stay on, and granted favour to them until they too fought against him Then he killed their men, and distributed their women, children and properties among the Muslims, except that some of them had joined the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) who granted them security. They embraced Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned out all the Jews of Medlina. Banu Qainuqa' (the tribe of 'Abdullah b. Salim) and the Jews of Banu Haritha and every other Jew who was in Medina.

Byzantine definitely did do it and so did Persians

That is also not how their views of ethics works. The story of the old testament in historical christianity, Orthodox, Reform and Conserative Judaism is that humans constanly fail God. They obviously hold different way that is fixed. Below is an academic lecture on that.

>They're actually willing to die for what they believe.

It goes beyond just that.
They unironically believe that death is better than life, especially death obtained in violence or while committing violence.
Islam is a death cult.

>>17815616
>Islam is a death cult.
He says it while worshipping the corpse of a loathsome zionist rabbi as a god

Judeochristians love to project their degeneracy onto others

>>17815611
These are all verses of yhwh ordering his chosenites how to do war properly, so cope, judeochristian

Quran's brutality don't hold a candle compared to the Bible

>>17815609
No they did not, when mujahideen took levant and persia it was armyXarmy, sometimes even duels to avoid bloodshed. All of them were honorable foes not cowards who liked to murder and tortured innocents like western judeochristians

Israel is nothing but a modern crusader state and their baby killing practices are proof of that

>>17815616
That extends to all abrahamic religion. Islam isn't uniquely violent or more violent. But I'd say Muslims from the near east are willing to double down for what they believe. I respect that more than christcuckold cowards playing warlord in Louisiana or Utah.

True to some extend
But islam is the only one with explicit martyrdom and special heaven priviledge for those who kill in its name.

>>17815742
Byzantine regularly subjected lots of people to many atrocities. Albanians and anatolians for example.
Persians called wars on entire nations over their conversion to Islam.
>>17815751
> But islam is the only one with explicit martyrdom and special heaven priviledge for those who kill in its name.
Christianity advocated for martyrdom as well.. did you not read the Bible.
Or are you threatened by martyrdom where someone accepts their death and seeks to bring others to judgment, as opposed to someone who just accepts dying?
