YES!

Read the koran! the Koran demands this! Make sure you find a copy called THE NOBLE KORAN, translated by Dr. Muhammed Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammed Muhsin Khan, Islamic University, Saudi Arabia. This book is recommended by Mark Gabriel, PhD., (read also his book ISLAM AND THE JEWS) who was born in Egypt, lived and breathed (memorized the koran by the age of 12) islam for thirty four years and earned his doctorate in islamic studies - i think he KNOWS the koran!

Then ask muslims to explain the violence within. Chances are they will not even be aware of these violent passages since they are only required to regurgitate the arabian text. Their ignorance perpetuates this... They must be taught the truth! Help them!
