There has been much debate over the last decade concerning whether or not Islam (meaning submission) is a violent religion. To be sure, there are many Christians out there who act extremely foolishly whom we would want to disassociate with...they give us a bad name. But, as I read this news article about the woman who calls herself Jihad Jane, an American born convert to Islam who just wanted to do something to ease the suffering of Muslims and was therefore willing to die a martyr in order to kill a Swedish cartoonist.
It makes one wonder, what kind of religion would make someone want to kill themself in raw vengeance, not for physical harm done to someone, but for drawing a cartoon? The answer is that it is a works based religion that knows nothing of divine grace. Pray for Christians in such coutnries where they are persecuted for faith in the true God.
