Islam and Peace

Many people nowadays have a wrong idea about Islam thinking that it is a religion that promotes violence and killing of non-muslims, however this belief is totally wrong and islam promotes peace to the maximum! The people often quote various verses in Quran that command killing, but they quote it out of context, the Quran nor the Hadith promote killing of innocents, however self defence killing is permitted in case of being heavily opressed or if another nation brings war to you, fight back to the ones who are bringing war but not the women, children, elderly nor the innocents of their nation. Even if the innocent people are strong haters of Islam; don't harm them. This article provides sufficient verses from the Quran and the Hadith proving Islam promotes peace.
