The Bible is extremely violent as well.

The reason why Christianity itself isn't as violent is due to the reformations which took place. Had Islam experienced said reformation and Christianity didn't, then I would anticipate Islam being in Christianity's role today

Exactly this. The Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance greatly challenged the orthodox principles of Christianity (namely the Catholic Church) back then. And those events occurred about 500 years ago.

violent in what sense?

I wouldn't stick too much on detail regarding religion since everything about them has been written having in mind what was known and understood 2000/1400 years ago, what seems violent today could have been quite normal back then

I'd rather stick to the fact that both Christianity and Islam are very peaceful religions, people who commit these kind of attacks are clearly manipulated and deluded by other deluded manics, who do not accept that religions only exist as guidance from above for people to live in peace, but instead they devote their lives on the exact opposite thing of what religions suggest
