To Dianamoon(12)

Actually Dianamoon, when reading the bible (Greek testament) you will find that the words of Jesus are not all about love. And the Hebrew testament is filled with stories that are really disturbing. So please do not comment on Islam the way you do unless you have been studying not only the Quran but Hadiths and know about the muslim tradition.

Matthew 10:34
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Luke 22:36-38
36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors' and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
38 The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords."
"That is enough," he replied.

Jihad does not mean "Holy war", that is completely wrong. If you like to know more about Jihad go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad.
