      I've been looking up youtube comments lately, and have seen a lot of anti-muslim comments. Most of them came from America.

      Most of them are just comments but some try to convey that Islam is a religion of violence by quoting the Quran.

      One of the most famous quote would be Suran 9:5 "fight and slay the unbelievers where ever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them"

      Sounds violent huh...

      Lets try this one more time, but include the previous and next verse and complete the current verse.

      This particular passage is simply referring to a historical where some unbelievers had broken a peace treaty with the muslim and a battle had erupted.

      We live in Singapore where Religious harmony exist. Lets not let something as simple as taking stuff out of context ruin that.

      Which is why it is important that you have to understand the context in which the verses appear.

      Actually it's not just anti-Islamic factions that take verses out of context... extremist/terrorist factions have been known to do the same to justify their heinous deeds in the name of Islam.
