Obviously. Sorry if what I said made it come across that way, no, of course Muslims don't HAVE to be violent. Was saying "extremists" not clear? I'm not painting with broad strokes here. I guess I could have said "Here are some Koran verse examples of what extremist Muslims who advocate violence and terrorism would point to as their god telling them to do it."
