Islam is a religion of peace

I have been a muslim for four years. and since my conversion I have heard numerous anti Islamic Rhetoric. Islam IS a religion of peace not War or Terrorism. Me and my wife( who is Christian) agree on this point. Simply because a few.. a very small percentage of the muslim population decide to act ignorant and go against the basic teachings of Islam, which one is respect for Human Life. Does not mean all of us are terrorists or support terrorism in any way. I'm not Anti semetic, or anti christian. I love christians, and jews, I love all people regardless of race, or religion, because the holy Quran teaches that all human Life is sacred.
