Why do people say that Islam is peaceful when there is ton's of evidence that proves that it is not peaceful?

Question

There are over 100 verses in the Koran that i have which commands jihad & to murder to get into paradise,so if a Muslim does not die in jihad as a martyr how do they or moderest (those who don't go to jihad at all) Muslims get to their paradise ? Even Muhammads first successor Abu Bakr was worried that he would not go to paradise because he didn't die in jihad, even though he fought loyaltly in jihad !

Answer 1

The Q'uran is NON-Contextual, anybody who paints you a backdrop for it using their own personal ASSUMPTION is a piece of crap.

Qur’an 8:60 “Infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them.”
Bukhari:V4B52N260 “The Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.’”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”
Sahih Bukhari V6B61N577:
I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."
Bukhari [4:52:177]: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!"

Bukhari, V1B4N234: "A group of people from the Oreyneh and Oqayelh tribes came to the prophet to embrace Islam, the prophet advised them to drink the urine of the camels. Later on when they killed the prophet's shepherd, the prophet seized them, gouged out their eyes, cut their hands and legs, and left them thirsty in the desert to die."

Answer 2

I do not know which translation of Quran do you have but in originall arabic verision I have this:

In Quran God says that muslims should fight with the enemies of Islam as a self/family/land protection in case if enemies fights first.
If enemies stop fighting, muslim should stop as well and forgive them.
Thats why Jihad it is not just a war but it is called- Holy Struggle with the enemies of Islam ( as the reason to fight is holy- self protection).

Quran describes the WAY of Life of every muslim. Protection is part of the life, thats why so many sentences about it in Quran, repeating themselves.

Believe me as Im ex chtistian,from Europe, who studied Islam before to accept it. I m very peacefull person so I would neve change christianity for something violence or evil

Answer 3

You sir, are a moron. Read the Bible cover to cover. The text is almost irrelevant; its all about the interpretation. There are violent, vengeful and morally primitive interpretations of both books. Look at the nutcases who bomb abortion clinics or claim the current war should be a religious crusade against Islam. The only difference is that there are currently a lot of violent, manipulative people in high places in Islam who use their faith as a recruitment tool to further their plans for conquest and make brainwashed suicide soldiers. Christianity has far fewer people of this type at the moment, but the balance could swing back. DO NOT FORGET THE INQUISITION AND THE CRUSADES.

Answer 4

there are thousands of other way going to paradise rather than dieing in the battle of Jihad

dieing in the battle of Jihad is direct entry to the paradise

Answer 5

Depends on your definition of 'peace'. The grave is the most peaceful place on earth.

And Shamalama, the Spanish Inquisition is mostly propaganda by anti-catholic forces. In truth, the Spanish clergy was far kinder and gentler than those of any Protestant nation. But they didn't have the Gutenberg press. He who writes history defines history.

Answer 6

do some research on when these verse in the quran were revealed. they were revealed during the time when muslims were at war against the meccan pagans. Also the quran calls them kuffar, but it calls christians and jews people of the book, does the quran say kill people of the book? NO, so this plainly explains that it is referring to the time muslims were fighting the pagans of mecca. Please read quran carefully, not with bias.

Answer 7

Beause the present day invasion of america by islam calls for subtle two faced lies as a false facade until the time is right.
9/11 was nothing in comparison to what might come next.
peace out

Answer 8

i have never read the book so i can only go by what the normal ones say that they don't like killing
isn't it just the freaks who are not peaceful?
its all a shame we all can't just get on with one another no matter what religion
we are all human

Answer 9

You can say the same thing about Judaism and Christianity. Like the Talmud says that it's OK for a jew to kill a non jew (gentile) but it's bad for them to kill another jew. And, what about the Spanish Inquisition? That was done in the name of God.

Answer 10

this is unreasonable, Muhammad him self didn't die in jihad. jihad is only for self defense: fight for god's sake who fight you, and don't be the aggressors, god doesn't love the aggressors.
