IS Islam a violent religion??

i notice that some people here in this forum may be saw the miracles in Quran and the prohpet's saying but they have many answer about the (Jihad) i mean the fighting in Islam.

first:
i say:"Islam refuse killing Christian or Jewish people who are innocent and are not attacking muslim"

for example:
-two towers in NewYork city in United states:
first:
Are you sure who execute of this action are muslims???
at that day "11 september 2001" there are many Jewish servants in the two towers take a holiday at that day ...why??
i guess that the israeli Mousad(israeli intelligence agency) who execute this action at 11 sep 2001.

however,if we suppose that many muslims who execute this action,my answer is:

"Islam refuse this work"
and those muslims is disobeyers because they leave the applying the base of Islam and the prophet Mouhammad's saying.
Allah said in the holy Quran in (60,
that part of Quran means the in Quran:Allah is command the muslims to not killing the innocent people who they do not killing muslims.

Islam sorts the muslims (who execute the action in 11 september 2001 and who are killing the innocent people) that are disobeyers muslims.

this is the guide.
and the prophet Mouhammad was get angry from muslims who is killing the innocent people.

Abo Baker(one of dependents of the prophet Mouhammad)said to one of the leaders of muslims Armies:"do not kill women,do not kill children,do not kill olds,do not kill animal otherwise for food,do not cut trees,you will find people in theirs (church),leave them with their Jobs"

this is the bases of Islam.

ok and this bases of (the Jihad):
Question: What is Jihad?
The word Jihad stems from the Arabic root word J-H-D, which means "strive." Other words derived from this root include "effort," "labor," and "fatigue." Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread Islam by the sword" as the stereotype would have one believe.
Answer: The Qur'an describes Jihad as a system of checks and balances, as a way that Allah set up to "check one people by means of another." When one person or group transgresses their limits and violates the rights of others, Muslims have the right and the duty to "check" them and bring them back into line. There are several verses of the Qur'an that describe jihad in this manner. One example:
"And did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,
the earth would indeed be full of mischief;
but Allah is full of Bounty to all the worlds"
-Qur'an 2:251

Islam never tolerates unprovoked aggression from its own side; Muslims are commanded in the Qur'an not to begin hostilities, embark on any act of aggression, violate the rights of others, or harm the innocent. Even hurting or destroying animals or trees is forbidden. War is waged only to defend the religious community against oppression and persecution, because the Qur'an says that "persecution is worse than slaughter" and "let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (Qur'an 2:190-193). Therefore, if non-Muslims are peaceful or indifferent to Islam, there is no justified reason to declare war on them.

The Qur'an describes those people who are permitted to fight:

"They are those who have been expelled from their homes
in defiance of right, for no cause except that they say,
'Our Lord is Allah.'
Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,
there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches,
synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of God is commemorated
in abundant measure..."
-Qur'an 22:40

Note that the verse specifically commands the protection of all houses of worship. Finally, the Qur'an also says, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (2:256). Forcing someone (christian or Jewish who are innocent) at the point of a sword to choose death or Islam is an idea that is foreign to Islam in spirit and in historical practice. There is absolutely no question of waging a "holy war" to "spread the faith" and compel people to embrace Islam; that would be an unholy war and the people's forced conversions would not be sincere.



i want to say accentuation that Islam sorts the muslims (that killing innocent people) are disobeyers muslims,not all muslims are execute the Islam bases. i brought some of islamic bases from quran and the prophet's working in this topic.
so,
Islam is not a violent religion.
