If ISLAM is the religion of peace , why are they killing each other ?

Question

Shia vs. Sunni in Iraq
Both vs. any other religion on earth

Is it religion or lust for POWER

Answer 1

Good question! Bear in mind though, they were all under peaceful living conditions when the supposed 'madman' Saddam was in power.

Look what happened when the real 'MADMAN' Bush invaded and occupied!! Chaos and infighting...that was Bush's intent to plant his poison seed among the Muslim nation and create corruption and chaos while he steals their oil!!

Take a look at the Catholic churches too! Priests torturing altar boys with sodomy and rape! The 'POPE' punishes them by relocating them to another church!

Answer 2

True Islam does teach must as does the christian bible, "turn the other cheek", "my neighbour is my brother", etc.

The problem is Human nature, and that desire to twist something ever so little, that it is distorted enough to get people to believe in a cause of violence.

We, you, myself, everyone, can read a book, a newspaper, a bill board and interpret it just a little be differently. And if that difference is enough the message is lost.

Politics and religion are the same creature, just with a different name. It is about manipulation and distortion, and finding some common cause to be focussed on instead of what is actually important.

For example, Shia vs Sunni, both are suffering, especially after the US invasion, but instead of being focussed on improving their lives, they focus on making things worse for each other... Dumb.

We are, as modern as our world is today, still very tribal, and you just have to watch a Soccer(football) match to see it. Fans support their clubs finatically, and will fight each other in the streets, but put an England top on suddenly you are all mates...

Human nature.. how do we combat it? we don't!! we should try to understand and embrace our distinctiveness and accept that within each other... acceptance is the key..

Answer 3

They kill each other for the same reasons people who follow Christ kill. The words and teachings of a wise pacifist have been corrupted by the "Money Lenders" and the "Priesthood". The Ecclisasts, and the Buisness community have warped the religion to be violent to keep the followers of the religion down. Osama Bin Laden is wealthy. Why doesn't he do a suicide attack? The same can be said for the higher ups in all the insurgencies. And the American oil companies who bought our government love the Chaos. Higher oil prices, more profit, and when they are through raping the middle east, those people will be left to return to wandering around the desert on camels.

Answer 4

Religion and people from that religion is two different things...
ISLAM is the Religion of peace...

While Muslims are people from that religion...
We are all human...
One must realize that just because a person is MUSLIM doesn't mean he/she is practicing word for word, or inch by inch it...
It's like in Christianity...
I'm pretty sure that in Christianity you aren't allowed to have sex before marriage...
But in reality most people lose their virginity at 15...


And another thing
It's not as if other religion's people aren't killing each other…
I'm not saying this to; find a reason to say its ok for Muslims to kill others
But to say that
There are bad and good people from every religion, every race, and every kinds of people…
That's why we are human and not angels…
What we have to do is…
Try to bring people together..
Try to tell them that we can never be 100% perfect but we can always be 999%
That's what really does matter is to be more closer to perfect then not

Other religion are killing each other…
EX:
Christianity:
Catholic are killing other Protestants Ireland
And I'm pretty sure there are more examples…

Crusaders?

1096 Soldiers of the First Crusade kill Jews

Answer 5

Like so many versions of Christianity, there are many versions of Islam as well. Many are misled by others with non-religious purpose and right now this is most evident in Islam. I imagine in the days of the crusades the rest of the world was wondering what those crazy Christians were thinking. It is all just people using religion for power and control.

Answer 6

If Christianity is a religion of peace why has Europe had more catastrophic wars than any other continent, with a history of power lust (invading 90% of the world), thereby introducing unfair political systems and slavery. Why do the Christian Right support Bush in his war on individual rights - sorry war on terror - when it means the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people?

Is THAT is the true face of Christianity, the religion of "love thy neighbour"?

Answer 7

Decades of oppression and suppression by puppet governments and then the grave injustice, the invaion, occupation and the mass slaughter of the people, can cause them to be so bitter. Just remember that the centuries of slavery and oppression of the black people in America that morphed into the daily racism, discrimination and profiling of the same people led to injustices of the likes of the Rodeny King beatings by the cops igniting the famous riots that caused billions of dollars in loses.

Now, tell me: If the Christians are so peaceful then how come the riots?

Answer 8

Excellent observation.

Actions really do speak louder than words, don't they?

And just to make another point, if Islam is the religion of peace, why is there no outrage over what the terrorists are doing around the world in the name of their God? There's outrage over cartoons along with death threats to anyone who questions their believes. There isn't even a response from their churches and councils when the UN asks that they condemn suicide bombers.

Religion of peace indeed!

Answer 9

Islam and Christianity the two have a background of turning into political. while this occurs, there is frequently hassle. Christianity, a minimum of Protestant or non Catholic Christianity has with any luck seen the hassle of attempting to make a Theocracy. It would not artwork, adult males are in basic terms too evil. the main occasion I supply is the examples of the Roman Catholic Church, and the present Muslim theory that non secular regulation is the only thank you to run a central authority. interior the previous with the Roman Catholic Church and their 'expert' status, they began to persecute all different people who professed Christianity who did no longer conform to their 'expert' way. They tortured human beings, raped human beings, slaughtered thousands and thousands, extorted human beings, imprisoned human beings, and tried to convey all Christian concept below their rule. they did no longer prevail. The Muslims have by no ability found out the lesson of what occurs while faith takes a political ability. They see it as a thank you to deter crime. so as that they are actual seen as being followers, having their values places on the persecution of absolutely everyone they see as no longer conforming to their strategies. So their 'expert' status politically makes them enhanced interior the rights they have over people who're no longer conforming to their reported strategies. It them will become alright to kill for non secular motives. Christianity interior the Bible ability that in case you repent and start to have faith God by using Jesus Christ, you could have peace with God. that's barely a faith of peace in that way, nonetheless maximum observant Christians are extremely non violent. that's not the religion of peace that the Muslims declare to be. The Muslims have quite a few problems while confronted with good judgment, extraordinarily because of the fact that they say that they are the religion of peace while each united states they administration exhibits exciting undemanding strategies to place human beings to dying. additionally they look to think of that's alright to beat and kill their women individuals while they do no longer believe their women individuals, no longer a very non violent faith in case you inquire from me. So the Christian declare is which you will have peace with God, mutually as the Muslim declare is in basic terms turning a blind eye to all reason, mutually as additionally preaching Jihad, which ability 'conflict'. conflict and peace are opposites! Peace is ceasing to conflict. And so I discern that we are able to have many extra examples of the shortcoming of peace from Islam interior the destiny.

Answer 10

I think, like Roman Catholic vs. Eastern Orthodox, the two islams excommunicated each other.

That means that each see itself as killing non-muslims, infidels, in Jihad. Their holy book says that is the highest form of good and an instant ticket to heaven.

Answer 11

Jews in Israel , aren't they killing people?

Hindus in India killing each other, they have very ugly cast system too.. like apartheid
