I think we've run into a stalemate situation here where I don't either of us is going to convince the other although it has been fun trying.
Nevertheless, as you seem to have a more intimate knowledge of the Koran than I do, it would be interesting to hear from you what precise (or even paraphrased) comment in the Koran makes you believe that this book incites its adherents to violence.
