You are telling me i am wrong because


if muslims believed in koran they would have converted whole world but it did not occur so muslims don't believe in that interpretation of koran. (circular reasoning)

Here is my evidence that islam is all about "violent jihad"

610 - Mohammed, in a cave on Mt. Hira, hears the angel Gabriel tell him that Allah is the only true God.
613 - Muhammads first public preaching of Islam at Mt. Hira. Gets few converts.
615 - Muslims persecuted by the Quraish.
619 - Marries Sauda and Aisha (9 years old)
620 - Institution of five daily prayers

Now i know why you call "peace be upon you"


instead of furnishing "evidence" you are just attacking me personally

What everyone means by Jihad has nothing to do with argument. Only those who do Jihad can difine it.

Also, as a muslim it is your utmost responsibility to hold every word of Koran to be true till end of time. What is really sickening is the double standard muslims society has. They want freedome of religion in west and in their own homeland they deprive to their own minority.
