What evidence supports Islam as a religion of peace? As a religion of violence.

Answer 1

While Jihadism, which is the supposed sixth pilar of the Kharijite branch, promotes the idea of fighting against enemies of Islam, is what promotes the idea of balance, it is not inherently accepts by all branches of Islam. In fact, it is more accepted for Islam to be the religion of peace by allowing for Islam followers to not kill or cause violence. For one, the root word "silm" of Islam means peace. Also, peace is repeated almost 113 times in the Quran. One of Allah's names is also As- Salem, which means peace. The Quran calls for peace in most of its verses, which means not only a time without war, but anytime planned activities are present.
