Someone needs to do some research...

Those who say that Muslims are committing violent acts according to what the Quran teaches them needs to do some research. No where in the Quran does it say to commit violent acts, especially towards people of the Book. I have a feeling that you are just going by something you heard, you really need to sit down with the Quran and look at it yourself. The violent acts that are being committed are being justified by other humans, not Muhammad, not the Quran, and not God. You cannot take revelations from the Quran out of context and try to interpret them, you really need to do some more reading.
