The claim that Muslims are intrinsically violent is sociologically inconceivable and unsupported.

Evidence

To put the difference starkly, if al-Qaeda launches violent attacks against Western targets, some might conclude that this is due to an inherent quality in Islam and that, by extension, all Muslims are prone to violence because all Muslims are fundamentally the same. By contrast, when Anders Breivik, a self-identified Norwegian Christian, went on a killing rampage in and near Oslo in July 2011, Christianity and Christians as a whole were not implicated in his crimes. — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 54 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
