Answer 1

Its not a religion of peace. Its a religion of death, destruction, and misery for all. Their entire purpose is to dispose of those that they call "infidels" those that choose to believe other than what they believe. They are the modern day Spanish Inquisition.

Answer 2

Probably because they were not dressed correctly. Yes it is sad but the police are responsible for the loss as well as the education system for overvrowding the school. Women and girls are suppossed to dress as the Qur'an tells them too. Not all Muslims let girls burn to death. Those idiots were twisting the Islamic Laws. And as to the women thing. Well women can't do a lot cause they need to be protected from dangers like rape. It was not Islam that let the children burn to death. It was the morality police who are responsible for the deaths as well as the education people who ran that school.

Answer 3

All religions are based on Peace and Justice, the problem is people, not whatever religions teach.
You could ask the same question with different subjects, like:
If the police's role is to "protect and to serve" why do they beat innocent people up in the streets on camera?
If the UN's Blue Helmets are there for humanitarian relief, why do they rape and murder innocent children?
If the government is "for the people and by the people" why do they spend their day thinking up of more ways to screw you out of your rights and money.
If justice is blind, how come she sees money clearly?
so on and so forth...

Answer 4

Yet another question that condemns the whole religion based on the practices of some retards...

Can we condemn Christianity for the actions of that pervert who shot 3 girls of the Amish community... NO WE CANNOT... so, get a grip!

Answer 5

when its get burned !!
ur information is false .. how u know that if u don't live there .. i am a Muslim girl and never hear about this crab.. i am at the college and all girls here must enter the school .. so base ur questions on a strong fact and think million times before asking .

edit :
when u bring a pic of one who is wearing a hijab that doesn't mean that she cover her brain they are high educated doctors, sciences , teachers .. etc .
so don't be shallow-minded.

Answer 6

'Religion of peace' is an oxymoron. Let's not deceive ourselves here.

The ugliness that happened in Saudi Arabia is a perfect example of the danger of theocracy. The Qur'an is very clear that 'there is no compulsion in religion', but the State (government, miltary, police, etc.) have always found it very convenient to claim to be 'speaking on behalf of the religion (i.e. on the behalf of God)' to give legitimacy to their cruelty and tyranny.

If you happen to be a citizen of GWB's USA, I'd appreciate it if you bore that in mind on election day.

Answer 7

If Christianity is a "religion of love", why did they let the people from 911 burn to death, suffocate and get sandwiched?

Answer 8

because Islam is NOT a religion of peace. period.
My problem is not with that since islam will always be a religion of screwed up people unless they decide to let go of the stupid crap in their religion. Lots of other religions have evolved like this and they are fairly "sane" at this point.
My big problem is why is Saudi Arabia an ally of the US? and why do we even do any business with this backward nation that abuses women as bad as they do. Heck why do be friends with China, and Sudan and f*ked nations like that?

Answer 9

Same reason extremists in Christianity might refuse a blood transfusion for their child. Extremists in any religion do not represent the majority.

Answer 10

Religion of Peace is just their english language propaganda. Never would such a thing be said in arabic.
