Pray Along Prayercast: VIOLENCE - World Mission Prayers

n 1997, Samuel Huntington controversially said: “Islam’s borders are bloody.” The violence convulsing Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, etc., has been in the daily news. Why are there so many violent conflicts around the Muslim World today? Where does the violence come from?

This pattern of Muslims engaging in violent wars of conquest is tied to Islam’s founder. Islamic tradition proudly describes Muhammad’s violent conquests from Medina. Ever since, many of those who follow Muhammad most faithfully, have also conquered in his name.

Does this translate into violence in daily life? Yes and no.

Violent crimes are not as common in many Muslim cities as they are in the USA, for example. Yet, because Muslims believe that Islam was proven true by military victories, they honor strength over humility and see violent retaliation as noble. In Muslim societies where men dominate, women are frequently victims of horrific violence.
