The discussion of roughness and violence is indeed the discussion of the day. We cannot deny that there are many groups who suspiciously take up this path in the name of religion.

This approach does nothing but increase people’s hatred towards religion. It indicates real intellectual poverty, because anyone who possesses logic and intellect has many other ways to get his ideas across. Those who take up violence do harm to the religion that the Prophet (s) described, an easy and flexible faith.

The Prophet (s) established the most wonderful picture of gentleness, and he discouraged the use of violence in many situations. Consider the time that Bilal captured Sufya bint Hayy, one of the Jewish dignitaries, during the Battle of Khaibar. He took her past the place where the Jews were being killed so that she almost died of sadness. The Prophet (s) was moved by this even though it concerned an enemy. He said to Bilal, “Have you run out of mercy, O Bilal?!”
-I think every body know why prophet mohammad peace be upon him fight jews that day.

The Prophet (s) confirmed the need for gentleness in our interactions, especially with weaker people like children for example,One day he heard someone say, “I don’t remember ever kissing one of my children.” The Prophet (s) replied angrily, “If God has removed mercy from your heart, then what can I do with you?”

finally, prophet Mohammad peace be upon him said:"Kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty, and it is not removed from anything but it makes it defective."

peace.
 
Is extremism and Islamic product?

Simple answer, No.

The extremism we see today in my opinion is due to lack of education, lack of quality of life, exploitation of the poor and impoverished, political agendas and ethnocentricism. The terrorists hide and recruit and send those with nothing to lose to fight their battles. Sadly at this particular time these terrorist are using a religion as the excuse because the particular religion is one that a person gives him/herself to 100% no matter the cost, and it is also taking place in a region where this is the dominate religion not to mention where it originated from... 100 years from now perhaps it will be under the banner of christianity but that doesnt mean that christianity was formed or intended in order to kill 1000's of innocent people or anyone at all for that matter. Religion in its most simplist form is to give us guideance for peace and righteousness in order to obtain the ultimate prize which is being with our creator for eternity in heaven. War, is just the opposite, unless you are truly being targeted for your belief.

Just wanted to make a quick note and say that alot of big mass murdering groups didnt lack education. In fact quite the opposite/ Quite a few of them had intellectuals.

This is especially true of the Stalin-Maoist groups of the 50-mid80s.

There is a difference between lacking education and lacking wisdom. I'm sure there are top of the class professors out there who hate Jews fanatically. They know many things but cannot put them in order correctly.

I agree, that is why i prefaced it with extremism of today.. Not to say that many of the fighters are not intelligent or never got an education, the leaders of these groups, OBL for example, are not idiots, it is usually the people that they are recruiting that are doing the dirty work. These are the people I was talking about, the "lack of education, lack of quality of life, exploitation of the poor and impoverished" applies mainly to them, while the guys calling the shots are usually the ones who are in it for "political agendas and ethnocentricism". Obviously not all of the above applies to every person, I just believe that these are the causes for the extremism and it is mixed in throughout the whole movement. God willing the conditions to breed this anarchy will stop and something good will come from it all in the end.

PEACE
