Is Islam the cause?

Question

If Islam is a peaceful religion,why is it that two of the largest groups of members,the Sunni's and the Shiite's kill each other and run each other out of their homes.Its like Kosovo all over again.And supposedly they believe that Mahamad had a certain succesor,thats why they kill each other.Does this religion make sense to anybody?

Answer 1

islam is an evil ideology followed by good people who will eventually do evil things if they continue to follow the religion to the letter of the koran.

muslims should be able to defend their religion with words at news.faithfreedom.org where muslims can debate instead of hate.

if nothing else works, muslims will eventually choose the sword

Answer 2

That is not the problem really. The problem is thousands of criminals released by Saddam Hussein. Seriously like 20,000 hardened criminals, AT THE SAME TIME, released to form giant armed gangs and control the city. Add to this some organized terrorist systems and a few mortars and you have all kinds of crazy business.

We should also add a little (or a lot of) dirty money and some corrupt politicians and maybe a little misguided diplomacy. Genocide! Which appears to be religious, but actually based on money.

Answer 3

Islam is definitely one of the religion of peace. What is happening in Iraq is a big propaganda made by the MSM (main stream media). Like in British once rules the India they have adopted a policy called "divide and rule". Divide the people on the basis of religion and fight the cause. They are the cause for the dividing the people and blame it on "radical" Muslims and Hindus.

Now exactly same thing is going in Iraq.. the American started the fight for no reason and killed 600,000 innocent people. They destroyed the most peaceful sanctuary of shies and blamed on Sunnis. I hate to say that but America are doing biggest genocide of the century.

Answer 4

No. It's not the religion. Take a look at the Republicans and Democrats in the US. They basically act the same way...each side believes that their side is the right side. It's the same with Ireland. What you're talking about is a power struggle between two groups that is not about religion.

Answer 5

Yes of course it makes sense and that is very ignorant of you. Islam is supposed to be a peaceful religion and Muhammad(pbuh) preached for a peaceful world with everyone lookign the same in Allah(swt) eyes. The religion shouldn't be to blame for the problems of the Sunni's and The Shiite's they may be two sections of Islam but Islam didn't very well teach them to do that.

Answer 6

No organised religion like Islam,Christianity or Siks are peacefull religions although all claim that they are ,

however these religions were designed to set Mankind against each other,to divide them into smaller groups ,the Illuminati´s strategy of divide and conquer,and so that there was money to be gained by the conflicts.

Answer 7

those certain people kill each other for stupid reasons. just because the killer was sunni and the victim shiite doesn't mean that all sunni's and shiite's kill each other. we just have different beliefs in some areas and those sunni's and shiite's who kill each other aren't doing the right thing. so they're not considered muslim.

Answer 8

THERE IS NO WHERE IN ISLAM ...IN OUR HOLY BOOK QURAN AND HADITH WRITTEN THAT MUSLIM AND SHIAS SHOULD FIGHT EACHOTHER IF MUSLIMS DO THEN IT IS THEIR OWN WEAKNESS..............The best example of International Brotherhood, is the pilgrimage prescribed by Islam – the Hajj. About two and a half million people from various parts of the world assemble in Makkah to perform Hajj. People from various parts of the world – from America, from Canada, from U.K, from Singapore, from Malaysia, from India, from Pakistan, from Indonesia and other parts of the world. Men are dressed up in two pieces of unsown cloth that is preferably white. One cannot identify nor ascertain whether the person standing next to him he is a King or a pauper. The Hajj is the best example of International Brotherhood.

Hajj is the biggest annual gathering of the world. Two and a half million people gather every year. Irrespective whether they are rich or poor, black or white and from whichever part of the world they have come from, all are dressed in the same attire.......
ALSO ISLAM STATES THAT ALL HUMANS ARE EQUAL: Prophet Mohammed (saw) said in the speech of his farewell pilgrimage ‘There is only one God, and no Arab is superior to a Non-Arab; nor is a Non-Arab superior to an Arab; a White is not superior to a Black, nor a Black over the White. The only criterion for superiority is Taqwa – i.e. righteousness, piety, and God-consciousness. In the sight of Allah, the Creator, all are equal. Only if you are more pious, more God-conscious, and more righteous, can you be superior to another human and this too is not something that humans can perceive – this superiority is only in the sight of Almighty God. While the Hajj is performed, every person recites and repeats, ‘Labbaik Allah humma labbaik’ which means:
‘Here I am O my Lord; here I am. Here I am –You have no partners – here I am. All praises are due to You – all bounties are yours. To You belongs the whole dominion, the whole Universe, and You have no partners.’

Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war." - Sura 9:5

"Prophet, make war on unbelievers and hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them." - Sura 9:73

"Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy... Prophet, (Muhammed) rouse the faithful to arms! If they (the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam) make peace with them." - Sura 8:59

"If they reject your judgment, know that it is Allah's wish to scourge them for their sins." - Sura 5:49

"Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your friends: they are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number, and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) wrong-doers." - Sura 5:51

When this is what you teach your children then that's what you get.

Answer 10

Islam is not the only reason for violence. Sunny vs shiite is about oil and power. Not just religion. No islam does not make any sense to me. The more i learn about it the worse my opinion of it gets.
