As a Muslim student the FIRST thing i was taught was That show mercy to ALL on earth and the One beyond the heavens will be merciful towards. Islam does not allow the murder of innocent people, it allows a difference of opinion and we are also taught that we as humans have NO right to judge another person let alone go around killing people becuase they dont think the same way as you. the Prophet Muhammed (SAW) used to live with Jews in early Medinah.
there are some VERY messed up Muslims out there who for some messed up reason belive that islam allows the killing of innocent people. it doesnt and every religion, society has people that have weird or pretty messed people who have wrong opions that does not make every one in that religion or in that society bad.
islam if you take the time to learn it from a person who knows the real understanding of islam you will see that it really is about peace peace towards Everything on earth not just your family, but also your neighbours what ever religion they are, animals people you see and every person you comminicate with.
