Islam is truly a religion of violent peace, however, not by choice.

As for the Islamic insurgency in Nigeria we must hold northern elders, political and religious leaders responsible. Yes, Islam has history of violence but we must not hold the Prophet Mohammed (peace being onto him) responsible. Because Mohammed (PBOH) as we can recall was an orphan raised by a relative and was evidently poor. A look back in history would show that Mohammed (PBOH) and Mohammedians were peace loving and Islam was founded on the principle of peace and for the eluviation of pain of sufferings of the poor. In the beginning Mohammed (PBOH) and his followers were constantly forced to defend their belief, lives and even their right to exist by constant aggression from godless medinians. Many times, Mohammed (PBOH) was ostracized from the land, from the present Saudi Arabia. Even in exile, Mohammed (PBOH) was pursued and attacked by then godless Saudis who thought that Mohammedianism was infringing in their corrupt way of lives. It should be recalled that Christ and earlier Christians had the same experience from the Jews and Romanians. The difference was that while earlier Christians preach, love, peace even at death, Mohammedians who were confronted with constant aggression chose to match violence with violence. The violence which initially was only a means of survival in the mist of overwhelming aggression eventual become part of Islamic religion. This is why every Muslim would always say that it is a sin to attack and kill innocent person but okay to attack and kill one who attacks you. Truly, this Islamic doctrine and position to defend and attack ones' aggressor for self- preservation is logical. However, there is a caveat and that is, to majority of today's none scholarly Muslims a none Muslims is an infidel, and therefore an enemy with either perceived passive or active aggression against Islam and its followers. So today's Islamic aggression has origin in historic persecution and unjustified killing of earlier Muslims by the ungodly Medinians. To remedy, reduce and eventually eliminate Islamic violence require education and abolition of the word infidel and unbeliever from the Koran, from Islamic texts and from the psych of Islamic faithfuls.
Mohammed (PBOH) an orphan, raised poor, if not for super natural intervention ordinarily could not had risen from the ashes to world recognition with over 2 billion diehard followers. Like Christianity, that Islam had a supper natural origin is evidently not in doubt. It would be foolishness to deny that an orphan, poor Mohammed (PBOH) whose influence in today's world is only comparable to Christ's, was an extraordinary being.
