Did you even watch the video? Islam is not about violence. However, I do agree with you that the people arguing and making threats on this page are foolish. But it has nothing to do with the religion, it has to do with the person himself.

Religions,

Stop fighting and start feeding people instead. Many people all over the world are starving. Religions can help to save their lives.

Religions must do the work of God in this world.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." ~ Matthew 25:35
