Islam is clearly not against violence. If you read the Koran you will see this is so.
Mohammed was clearly not against violence, either. He personally led over a dozen military campaigns of conquest during his lifetime.
Many imams call for violence. I don't know which Muslim leaders you are referring to, unless you are referring to the publicity after a major terrorist incident, when a few of them will come out and publicly say, "Oh, Islam is AGAINST terrorism". Well...that's NOT what many of the preach in their regular weekly sermons (see
www.MEMRI.org for verbatim transcripts of many of these sermons), and it's not what the Koran says, either.

A few preach hatred, they do it openly, most of them seem to be against violence, they certainly don't make these speeches in public places, like Abu Hamza for example.
All balanced sources, BBC and government say Islam is a religion of peace, not just Muslim leaders, I know not to take everything you hear seriously, but you have to get your information from somewhere, lets not get paranoid (everyones lying to us).
