Does Islam Encourage Violence? | Hate Decoded

Attacks by Muslim perpetrators get 357% more news coverage than attacks by anyone else. That number comes from a peer-reviewed study of every terror attack in the United States over a decade, and it is the key to a question millions of people think they already know the answer to: does Islam promote violence? The Sword Verse is real. Quran 9:5, "kill them wherever you find them." The verse right after it almost never gets quoted, and there's a reason. "ISIS is Islam with the mask off" sounds airtight until you check who ISIS actually killed, and who fought them hardest on the ground. And the fear itself left a paper trail: 230+ anti-sharia and anti-Muslim bills, hundreds of millions in documented funding, sitting in public records most people have never thought to search. Don’t just take our word for it. The study is published in Justice Quarterly (Kearns, Betus, Lemieux). The legislative database is hosted by UC Berkeley. The funding reports are on the record.
