Thousands of Americans to stage anti-bigotry rally: American Muslims to be joined by interfaith leaders in a stand against gun violence, bigotry and "extremism".

I think we all need to look into what the total religion is about rather than quote the favorite passages that inspire hatred. Christian rights (KKK, Westboro Baptist Church followers ) should do the same with the Bible.

Islam, like Judaism and Christianity is a peaceful religion. In fact, The Tora and Quran are Abrahamic religions just like Christianity. The 3 religions are based on the Old Testament and each respects and believes in the OT and NT as holy books of God.

Islam means peace. It also means surrendering one's will to God. This means the belief that only God can benefit you or can cause you harm. Islam is the religion that God taught to humans on this planet through the senior angel, Jibril (Gabriel). It was revealed to humanity in different stages when people needed guidance. Thus, the message of Islam was taught through Adam, Noah, Ibrahim (Abraham), Abraham's descendants (Ismael, Isaac, and Jacob), Moses, Jesus Christ, and Muhammed, to name the most prominent of the messengers.
