Islam a Religion of Peace

The Qur'an itself states that violence is usually only permitted in the context of some form of self defense.

Islam a Religion of Peace

Many Islamic communities have been more than amicable to nonbelievers for many centuries. The 'internal peace' you speak of is hardly present among Shi'ite/Sunni communities. The Qur'an even calls Christians wise men.

Islam a Religion of Peace

There is not really a centralized 'Islamic authority'. Some parts of the religion do have individuals they name as 'Caliphs', or 'Ayatollahs', but these individuals can hardly be expected t comment on every instance of sectarian violence (does the Pope?)

Islam a Religion of Peace

The full-body covering is not directly attested to in the Quran. Modesty is emphasized, for men and women. Aisha was of the normal age for marriage. 'Infidels' are only to be killed in the religion in self defense. The Qur'an has ~15-20 verses exhorting the virtues of Judaism/Christianity/Sabeanism.

Islam a Religion of Peace

Were there to be a war between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox on an international scale it would spell internal fragmentation. Even if one side were to demonize the other, the other would remain Christian. Thus it is with this.
