When their terrorists murder us, the followers of Islam proclaim, "That's not us, Islam is a religion of peace". I wonder to what extent the Muslims know their own religion. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/articles/10-reasons-not-peace.aspx I will let the intelligent people of PF vote on this and will accept the outcome.
Is Islam a religion of "peace"...?! Make up your own mind: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx . "Stay calm and enjoy the peacefulness!"
If Islam is a religion of peace...many of it's followers didn't get the memo. Kinda like saying Christianity is the religion of tolerance.
The religion alone is peaceful. Just like all the other religions. Its the people that have a problem
Several months ago I was reprimanded by a Forum Moderator for posting pictures of what kind of child molestation that Muslims commit when they are in control of a part of a country. So, unfortunately I won't be able to share those images with you now. I don't see the need to waste much time on this, but absolutely nowhere in the Holy Bible will you find any instructions about how "true believers" are supposed to molest children. However, you will find passages in the Quran (the 'holy book' of Islam) about how Muslims are supposed to commit all kinds of acts of violence against "infidels". You will also find very interesting insight into how Muslims are told that they may enjoy themselves sexually. Oh, yes... and some of it involves children as young as INFANTS! Get ready to puke, unless, of course, you are a Muslim: http://www.harrington-sites.com/Islam.htm (Aside to Moderators: the site indicated does not contain images, but it may make you want to puke, too....).
Jainism, Ba'hai, Quakers & a few more small religions can claim to be 'religions of peace'. Everyone else has or does kill in the name of or with the supposed blessing of their Gods. Anyone from any of those religions who tells you otherwise just isn't paying attention.
The number of victims of Terrorism is not even close to the number of civilians killed by USA. Most Muslims are peaceful people.
Traitor Bush alleged that he was instructed by the Christian god to invade Iraq. Thousands of children have died because of his perverse lies. And yet forum right wing tin hatters still feel Christianity (the religion that claims to worship the Prince of Peace) is "peaceful".
I don't believe in things being flatly good and flatly evil. I know kind Christians that raise disabled orphans, and of Christians that angrily rant on Twitter about how gays will bring about the apocalypse. I know Muslims (and am friends with a lovely woman who practices Islam) that are perfectly amicable, and there are Muslims that behead infidels. I recall that Pagans, Christians, Jews, Atheists, and probably Buddhists have also executed their enemies. Legalists threw scholars down holes while burning books and building the Great Wall of China upon the corpses of peasants. It isn't the religion, it's the person (and the drugs that they give to the person; most of ISIS's people are medicated by a drug that effectively turns you into a sociopath).
For those who vote here "No, it oppresses women and promotes terrorism against "infidels". It must be defeated.'' What steps are you personally going to take to change this "problem" as you see it?
Islam is not a religion of peace. Believers of that religion use their beliefs to wage 'jihad', to cut the heads off of apostates, to subjugate women to unspeakable genital mutilation, and to execute 'honor' murders. Christianity is not a religion of peace. Believers of that religion use their beliefs to justify abusing young children, committing genocide, hanging (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s, and killing doctors, not to even mention the 'Crusades'. There is no religion on the face of this planet that hasn't used their 'belief' as a cover for their atrocities. I'm not talking about a simple war for different beliefs, I am talking about religion giving the ok for the Spanish Inquisition. The Salem hangings. The heresy burnings. When will religion admit that they absolutely know nothing about this world? Faith is not the answer. It is the excuse to commit horrendous crimes. If you believe that YOUR GOD is better than THEIR GOD, then you are allowed to [Numbers 31:17-18] "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves." This is what true Christians, Jews, and Moslems hold as sacred writings. (*)(*)(*)(*) you.
The Pope said its not true.. And God wouldnt instruct you to go to war.... - - - Updated - - - Jesus is different from Christianity....
It depends on which period of Mohammed's life you refer to. In the Mecca period, it is true that Islam was a peaceful religion, however, when Muhammad moved to Medina, that is when the religion of Islam became not so peaceful. The Story of Mohammed goes into different periods of Islam, and is a must read if you want to understand Islam. To Answer your question, Islam isn't a religion of peace However, when Muslims argue Islam is a religion of peace, they are referring to the Mecca period, and will often quote verses from the Mecca period.
Yes, and as I have pointed out at least a dozen times in other threads, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam all have had bloody histories full of murder, torture, wars of conquest, forced conversions, and internal strife and civil wars among factions of even their own religions. All that ended hundreds of years ago -- EXCEPT FOR ISLAM. Of all the world's major religions only one (ONE) still actively (meaning TODAY) engages in the practice of mistreating, torturing, and murdering people who do not believe in it -- ISLAM. How many Christians, Jews, Hindus, or Buddhists put on spectacles like the one below...? Islam is a mental disease on a planetary scale that needs to be utterly removed from human experience....
You obviously forgot Abu Ghraib and Gitmo committed by "Christian" Bush and his underlings. Also, you may want to google articles re Hindu persecution of Christians and others.
Quoting myself here - and as usual, forum right wingers complain and complain to no end but offer nothing in the form of solutions to the problems they largely create and blame on others. So again I ask, what are your solutions? What step will you personally take to correct this "problem"?
Is Islam the the religion of peace? Better to ask is Hinduism the religion of Double Cheese Bacon Manatee Burgers.
The news media cannot sell Islam as peace. It sells hard the 1% of that faith who behave like diseased animals.
Even after they die. Its not a happy place if you read the koran and the hadiths. It is what most people would call hell. http://thinkaboutnow.com/2016/09/sa...in-jail-and-2000-lashes-for-being-an-atheist/ Anyway just be glad you live in a country that supports religious freedoms
