Mohammad taught Muslims to murder Jews.
'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.
"The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Mohammad taught Muslims to murder non-Muslims
Qur'an 2:191 - And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out.
Mohammad taught Muslims to murder people they did not trust.
Qur'an 4:091: - You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority.
Mohammad taught Muslims to murder people they thought to be idolaters.
Qur'an 9:005: - So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Mohammad taught Muslims to murder people if they thought it was a just cause.
Qur'an 17:033: - And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.
Murder is the major unspoken pillar of Islam. This explains why there are Muslims who are making bombs and detonating them as you read this!

While this was educational for me indeed (perhaps I am more ignorant of the religion itself than I thought), the reasons given to the international community for their desire to wipe Israel off the map are purely political. Land, resources and revenge kill more than religion. I am not defending religion to defend religion, but it's cause of war is overstated IMO. If the Middle East was devoid of oil and therefore it's strategic importance, their would be far fewer western bullets flying. America did not go there because of religion, Israel did not get created BECAUSE of religion (though I concede it was important in it's founding).
At the end of the day, war is fought for personal gain, and no one prays to that. (Modern History only, I understand historically religions role)
