From which part of the Koran (or Quran) are people making the statement that "Islam is a religion of peace"?

Question

I am having a hard time finding the "love thy neighbour as thyself" clause. It is reasonable to expect that individual Muslims can be charitable, kind and peaceful, but I don't see that requirement in their doctrine. If they do have such a law, does their god impose any penalties for breaking faith? If so, why didn't He punish Mohammed when he was a caravan raider? Or is this one of those cases where people are trying to make something true by saying it over and over again?

Answer 1

you have raised some interesting points.To address the first part of your question.There are many places in the Qur'an where it is enjoined on those who believe to "...say a word to the ignorant,Peace!" As well as the fact that Allah is Well Aware to what will occur in every situation,in every time and place. And His Mercy is what is contained in the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah.And the people who speak the Arabic language have helped us to understand that the letters that are used to spell "Islam,Muslim,seen, laam, and meem,are also used to write the word for peace in Arabic,'Salaam'.And the promise for those who will receive the 'good news', that they will enter the Paradise. And one of the Beautiful and Perfect Names that describe Allah (God), is "As-Salaam!"-The Source of Peace!As to the second part of your question,a word to the ignorant-"PEACE!"

Answer 2

Islam has never been and will never be a religion of peace.The Qu'ran definitely tells muslims to kill and go to war for Islam. It urges killing,it urges wars against enemies of Islam.namely the Jews and Christians. It tells Muslims to kill and go to war to fight for Islam.

The only reward of those who make war upon Allah, His messenger,and strive after corruption in the land, will be that they will be killed or crucified or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the hereafter.(Qu'ran 5:33)


There are a lot of verses in the Qu'ran similar to these. They are teachings and this is the source of the Islamic terrorism. .
