It is clear from what is constantly reported in the British media that Islam is a tolerant and peaceful religion. However, a minority find verses in the Qur'an to justify "jihad" in the way of Muhammad and to please Allah.
I'm sure the Qur'an contains tens of thousands of words and that the verses that the jihadists use as justification for fighting a "holy war" make-up a tiny percentage of the entire works, that have been taken out of context.
Anyone on here studied the Qur'an in any detail and knows whether this is true?
