If you say that Islam is a violent faith, you are accused of being anti-Islam and you are propagating “Islamophobia.”

We can't prove that God (Allah) exists nor can we prove the opposite.
About abstract entities there can only be a limited discussion.
However when we look at what God(s) are supposed to do to what happens down(?) here the only conclusion should be:"God did not create man, but man created God". (We didn't kill him !) It is superstition of the highest order and dogmatic interpretations create high levels of intolerance, hatred and violence. The Islam is super dogmatic; hence the answer is YES.
However over the ages religion has had a disciplinary effect on the multitudes and thus has had a function

There are those who KNOW God exists. They have FAITH.
FAITH is not dependent on religion, learning, wealth or anything of earthly value.
It is dependent upon a relationship with God.
A relationship with God, like any relationship, is based on LOVE, TRUST and HONESTY ans RESPECT.
You say God(s) must continuously "do" things to prove their existence.
Do you apply the same rule to your wife, sister, mother ? They are all children of God - just like you!
Furthermore, are you asked to prove your existence on a daily basis ? Or do people simply accept that you do exist.
Perhaps YOU cannot prove God exists but that doesn't mean He doesn't.

This verses is always quoted out of context, they never post 9:6 or from 9:1 to 9:6. If we read from start it states that there was a treaty, which the Pagans of Arab broke. Thus Allah gave them 4 months as 9:2 states in order to amend the treaty. Verse 9:4 states that the punishment prescribed in 9:5 is ONLY to those who broke the treaty and NOT to those who abided by the treaty. Therefore the context of 9:5 is of war with the pagan Arabs who broke the treaty yet refused to amend it in 4 months.
those arabs had kileld 4 inncent muslims after a treaty of peace-wich muhamamd always prefered-was in set.not only that eh gave them 4 months to repent.And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not. (PICKTHAL Translation, Quran 9:6
quran does not only say that you release those who seek protection but it goes even further and states to protect them! In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace during a battle, don't just let them go free, but also escort them to a place of security?
isntead of more misquatation read ALLL of Quran 2:190-195)The verse clearly states to fight those who fight you, yet do not transgress limits. In so sense therefore does it promote killing of innocent but allows self-defence. It further goes on to state "And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice" and "if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression".
How should ye not fight for the cause of Allah and (for the cause) of the feeble among men and of the women and the children who are crying: Our Lord! Bring us forth from out this town of which the people are oppressors! Oh, give us from thy presence some protecting friend! Oh, give us from Thy presence some defender!PICKTHAL Translation, Quran 4:74-76 next time quote all of it..........
concerning Quran 5:33 The verses before and after 5:33 are not usually quoted, as 5:32 prohibits murder and 5:34 encourages forgiveness.the end of it says:''Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. ''
also awliya means master,patron or protector  and even leader ''sadaqa''means freind or khalil means freind !seeصديق(, رÙيق, زميل, نصير, Ø§Ù„ØµØ§ØØ¨ÙŠ Ø¹Ø¶Ùˆ من جماعة المهتزين, الرÙيق,

Allah is Hearer, Knower. (PICKTHAL Translation, Quran 2:256 i.e surat al-baqarah ayah 256
Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just. (PICKTHAL Translation, Quran 60:8)
To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged;- and verily, Allah is most powerful for their aid;- (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, "our Lord is Allah". Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will). (YUSUF ALI Translation, Quran 22:39-40)

Alms are for...those in Bondage.."[9:60] But it is righteousness...to spend of your substance out of love for Him...for the ransom of slaves.."[2:177] And whoever kills a believer by mistake, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave.."[4:92] "He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation...give a slave his freedom.."[5:89] And if any of your slaves ask you for a deed in writing (for emancipation) give them such a deed; If ye knew any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you..."[24:33]
So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either SET THEM FREE as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates..."[47:4] ahha so eitherway we may not execute our prisoners
"It is not meet for a mortal that Allah should give him the Book and the wisdom and 'Nabuwah' (prophethood), then he should say to men: Be my slaves rather than Allah's; but rather (he would say): Be sustenance providers (Rabaniyoon) because of your teaching the Book and your studying (it yourselves)."[3:79]
read these ayaat Qur'an: Surah 90 Al-Balad (The City Attempt the Ascent, Free a Slave Qur'an 24:27-34 Surah An-Nur (Light) Marry: Slaves and Maid Servants; Emancipation Qur'an 2:177 Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow)Free Slaves Qur'an 2:221 Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow)Prefer Marriage to a Believing SlaveQur'an 5:89 Surah Al Ma'idah (The Table Spread)Expiation of Breaking Sworn Oath is freeing your slave!Qur'an 4:92 Surah An-Nisa (Women)Set Free a Believing SlaveQur'an 58:3-4 Surah Al-Mujadilah (She That Disputeth)Free a Slave
(Though killing is something you feel aversion to) disorder (rooted in rebellion against God and recognizing no laws) is worse than killing (2:191); and disorder (coming from rebellion to God and recognizing no laws) is even more grave and more sinful than killing (2:217)if you read thre quran Warfare is an awesome evil" (2:217), but sometimes it is necessary to fight in order to bring the kind of persecution suffered by the Muslims to an end [2:217] or to preserve decent values [22:40]. But Muslims may never initiate hostilities, and aggression is forbidden by God [2:190] While the fighting continues, Muslims must dedicate themselves wholly to the war in order to bring things back to normal as quickly as possible, but the second the enemy sues for peace, hostilities must cease. [2:192]
Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: "I went to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied: Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them. (Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 2139)"
If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. (The Noble Quran, 4:128)""And when you men have divorced women, ...then either retain them in kindness if you reconcile, or part with them in kindness. Do not retain them to harm them so that you transgress limits. He who does this has wronged himself. (The Noble Quran 2:231)"Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, 'The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), Volume 8, Book 73, Number 135)
"Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; WHO RESTRAIN ANGER, and pardon (all) men; for Allah loves those who do good. (The Noble Quran, 3:134)" {Fight in the way of Allah against ---those who fight against you---, ---but begin not hostilities---.Lo! Allah loves not, aggressors.}* (Al-Baqarah 2:190) But if they cease [attacking you], Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful." 2:192 IF they do not withdraw from you and they do not give you guarantees of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them: in their case we have provided you with a clear argument against them." 4:91
The Prophet said,"Paradise lies at the feet of your mothers."Hadith - Bukhari 1:675, Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abi Qatada"My father said, "The Prophet said, 'When I stand for prayer, I intend to prolong it but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut it short, as I dislike to trouble the child's mother.' " Hadith - Bukhari 1:3:591, Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'baThe Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers*, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).

Hadith - Bukhari 1:832, Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah ,also in 7:165My father said, "The Prophet said, 'If the wife of any one of you asks permission (to go to the mosque) do not forbid her."also women do not get half inheritence in silam but more then men,because a women ahs right to her husbands wealth(not other way around)and may take his money woithout his permisison,she may keep her dowry and its only her right,she has no taxes or obligations to herself or her family financially.calculating she has 4x more money then men in inheritence.
the witnessing of women is only 2 times because the Women needs emotional Support and the 2nd witness is only there to Help her Memory.
Women leaders?????"We narrate to you the most accurate history through the revelation of this Quran. Before this, you were totally unaware." 12:3 "In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence......" 12:111 27:22-44 mentions queen of sheba wich became abeleiver when meeting solomon women in islamhad the right to vote,own property and inheritence something only granted to your women in the 1930
