It's just that not many Muslims seem to openly talk about the violence in the Koran, focusing more on the ritual aspects of Islam.

So, generally is it okay for Muslims to describe the Koran as being violent or even very violent?

I personally don't know enough about it to comment.

Is Islam a pacifist religion (ie violence is never acceptable under any circumstances)? No. Islam--like any sane religion or philosophy--recognizes the necessity to defend one's life, family, or property should it be required. Even Buddhists--the darling of the liberal Western elite--recognizes this. However, is violence preferable? No, of course not, but a shepherd doesn't keep the wolves at bay by talking with the wolf. The wolf doesn't understand and doesn't care.
