Islam, like Christianity, are based on peaceful ideas. Most Muslims are gentle, peaceful people who only wish to serve their god in the best possible way. Do not forget that Christians have spent hundreds and hundreds of years fighting wars in the name of god. What one person does in the name of their religion is not symptomatic of all of the people of that religion.

Islam is the religion was peace. Islam does not believe in forcing people to follow them. And for all those people giving comments about Islam who dont know nothing about it.. why dont you try to read the translation of Quran and understand what it teaches and not look at a religion from a close mind.. and yeah just cz some group of ppl are doing wrong does not mean its Islam. By the way you should see news channels others than USA youll find out what the war is doing to the people in Iraq. Good luck

For the most part Islam is a religion of peace like most religions are. However then you get these groups of "fanatical" bone heads who take it to a level that it was never meant to be

I'm a Christian, but I do realize Islam is a religion based on peace. Its just some lunatics distort the religion as an excuse for killing and destruction. Islam IS NOT THE ENEMY, the ISLAMIC TERRORISTS ARE!!!

Because the word islam means Peace obtained by submitting to the will of the God.

because Islam calls for peace not for violence but Muslims must defend their religion and countries if someone tried to invade them

Most religions say one thing and act another. Look at christianity and the crusades.
Look at islam and almost every terrorist act of the 20th century.

Beats me, considering the tactics they employ to gain followers. I mean, who wants to join a religion that says "Become Muslim or we will cut your head off." I think they need a new, more hip recruiting strategy, there...
You know, not one Islamic leader has condemed any of the murders committed by al-Zarqawi and his henchmen. Why is that?

Why is Christianity? I've never seen so many violent people walking in unison then in the religion of Christians.
You support war everychance you get and honestly if killing gays was legal most Christians (although few would admit it) would happily go on a cleansing crusade.

Why indeed when this Holy War garbage is always on their mind. War of any kind, Holy or whatever hardly goes with peace.
