Islam, a peaceful religion?

Question

There they go again! For some reason or another, Muslims can never be criticised. If they are, acts of violence are immediately carried out. Case in point, the truthful and courageous words of Pope Benedict XVI in a speech last week in Germany, criticising Islam as a violent religion, has incited acts of violence against churches worldwide.

Time and time again, Muslims continue to say that Islam is a religion of peace.

Well, thank Allah Islam is SUCH a peaceful religion! Can you imagine if it weren't?

Enough is enough! It's time for Muslims to take accountability for their religion and culture. Stop spinning, and address the fact that the Muslim religion and culture is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most oppressive and violent cultures, against its own people, and certainly against other cultures.

For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?

If we do not deal with Islamofascism now, it will get worse, and any chance for peace will be diminished by the ever growing threat of Islamofascism. It must be dealt with with no uncertain terms.

Furthermore, people say that there are other religions that have been violent throughout history. True, very true. However, while most other religions have evolved through the centuries with liberalised perspective, Islam has remained the same violent and barbaric religion, oppressive to women, non-believers, and anyone with opposing point of views, since the days of Muhammed.

It is unacceptable, and though most of us do not wish to take the necessary steps to deal with Islamofascism, we will soon not have the choice but to do so. Otherwise, the problem would be much more difficult to deal with in the future.

Answer 1

It's quite an effective strategy of intimidation on the part of Muslims, isn't it? Who now, in the entire world, could stand up in public and express a negative view about anything pertaining to Islam, and not have it on their mind that they could soon be on the receiving end of a gun or a knife or a suicide bomb belt?

Answer 2

From the beginning, the architects and authors of Western "made-for-mass consumption junk, have been serving us a buffet of lies surrounding the religion of Islam and its history with the West. Not just out of government mouthpieces, but virtually the entire "fascist neo-con" talk show parade as well as almost every big-name Christian evangelist. Their message has been common and crude: The religion of Islam teaches hatred for all other faiths, most notably the Christian and Judaic.

Yet, they never point to history as proof of their own blind hatred greed and lust for Muslim blood, and the "fury" with which the the Christian West swept across the Mediterranean lands, forcing the conversion of Muslims to their filthy crass culture and pervert life style at the point and the barrel of a tank.

On this misconception, there is a great deal more to write, most of it showing how current practices in many Muslim lands go against what the Qur'an and Sunnah have ordained, lands in which women are treated as property (unIslamic), are not educated (unIslamic), are forbidden their economic rights (unIslamic), and more. On this point in particular, we encourage everyone to consult the Qur'an and Sunnah before incriminating Islam. Always remember that Islam is a complete way of life from the Creator, and that Muslims are people who claim to follow that way of life. A Muslim may claim to follow Islam, but be wrong.

Answer 3

The reason Muslims are extremists is because the Quran doesn't promise them salvation. They never know if they've done enough good to get into heaven. The Quran does promise them that they will go to heaven, however, if they fight and die for Islam. That's why so many are willing to blow themselves up.
Aren't you glad you're a Christian? Christian salvation comes from Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

if you want to do maths then why not number up the extreme fanatical Christians and you'll find that's a bigger number. Culture cannot be blamed on a religion and oppression does not have anything to do with it either - that is society and the people who are put in charge. Rosa parks had to stand up for her rights in a bus would you blame Christianity for that as it's the dominating religion in America.

Answer 5

The quote was from the time of the crusades when the peaceful christians were busy slaughtering the muslims and the jews throughout the whole of the known world, quit using drugs.

Answer 6

Hahahaha... World War 3

Answer 7

I have a hard time with this one. I know some Muslims who are very peaceful, loving people. I don't know whether it is just that they aren't part of a hateful sect or that they are professors that aren't really following their religion, or whether as some Muslims say AS WE CHRISTIANS SAY, real Muslims don't believe in murder and vengence.

Answer 8

When dealing with such numbers, I believe nuclear is the way to go.

Answer 9

Once again, you are confusing the religion with the humans who don't understand the religion.

Answer 10

there'll be a day when Muslims will dominate the earth...
that's when others go and colonize mars..hehe
