Theory vs Practice

I don't know how "teachings" or "holy books" compare to the actual behavior of real life Muslims.
Like The Bible and other related holy books, the Qur’an contains both warlike and peaceful & tolerant passages. It provides enough scope and material for followers either to “race to do good” (5:48) and “disperse in the land and seek out God’s bounty” (62:10), or alternatively to “spread corruption all over the land” (47:22).

Surah 33 calls upon Muslims to execute Jews and Christians.
You live up to your (misspelled) name! Surah 33, in fact, describes an instance of war between opposing forces ” it does not call upon people to carry out such deeds!

Re: setting the record straight
As a little pointer, let me refer you to the Europol website, particularly this study (PDF format, in English). It demonstrates that in 2006 498 ”terrorist attacks’ took place across 11 EU (European Union) countries. ETA (Basque separatist group) committed a whopping 136 of them, and killed 2 people in Madrid. Interestingly, for me, Islamic terrorist groups carried out one whole attack, and this with no fatalities.
“The report proves the genuine magnitude of Islamic terrorism in Europe” ” Kristoffer Larsson.
Incidentally, none of the other 497 (non-Islamic) attacks killed anyone, thankfully!

What fantastic logic! I really like this attitude
