Brigitte Gabriel responds to student on whether Islam is peaceful or not.
NOTE: This video is in no way an endorsement of any particular person, including Gabriel. I have not investigated her questionable affiliations, and claims elsewhere. In this video I offer a more conservative estimate of her claims regarding the number of muslims who are permissive of violence sometimes or often in defense of Islam.
It should also be noted that when I say of the permissive group that they think "suicide bombings or violence toward civilians in defense of Islam is sometimes or often justified," I'm using the language representative of aggregates based on pew research data that combines results of surveys. Some may say this about "violence" and some may include "suicide bombings."
I believe that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.
