How can Islam be about peace if they have violent uproars and attack in mobs when their religion is offended?

Answer 1

Islam is perfect.
Those you practice Islam(Muslims) are not perfect, and not always peaceful.

Answer 2

Here's my question for Yahoo! Answers: how many freaking times can this question be asked? I am betting that like 1/3 of the total server space devoted to Y!A is filled up with people asking "How come Muslims hurt people if it's about peace"?

Here's the answer: Some people think it's not about peace. Some people think it's about peace and just aren't very good at peace. And some people - I would be the vast, vast majority of Muslims, think it's about peace and act peacefully. You just don't hear about them because they haven't blown anyone up. If every freaking Muslim in the world was as violent as you apparently think they are, we would all be dead.

Answer 3

Other religions apart from the Muslims faith preach peace as well. every time something like spouse abuse, child rapist or some kind of victimization occurs, people do not stand up to say that is the white American (majority Christians) who seemed to be offended, they simple by pass all the racial-religion white fe/male stuff..why because it is in every household-- this type of living. and Islam is one of those things that people do not know about thus what people do not know they mock.

Answer 4

You watch too much television.
When we say the vast majority of Muslims don't participate in these demonstrations, that is simply a fact.
The Mohammed cartoons affair, for example, sparked a demonstration of some 2 000 - 3 000 people in Lebanon, in which the Danish embassy got burned.
They show you this on television and makes with a title like 'Muslims in Lebanon are rioting'. It's true there was a riot. And it's true a lot of people were involved. However, you must keep in mind Lebanon has a population of about 4 million (About 2.5 million Muslims), this means that 2.2 million Muslims were NOT participating in those riots.
In other words, about one Muslim in 1 000 participated in the demonstrations in riots, while 999 out of 1 000 continued with their daily lives like the vast majority of people anywhere in the world.

Answer 5

Innocent people(including kids,old aged and women and men) are killed always becuase of islam( they being killed becuase they are muslims).

media spreading false news... no one caring about the people they were killed because they were muslims!

islam asking to live in peace! and if some people responding against the cruelty against muslims ,we are strongly oppossing! but we have to think why this suicide bomber killing himself????
because some of them thinking to fight to live happy! otherwise they wil be destroyed!

islam is the fastest growing religion and its not allowed to spread any problems in the society or family. most of the people who oppossing islam are not studied about islam and just depending the false news creating by media syndicate.

i am muslim ! my religion asking me to help others and to live in peace here in this world and here after world. so i am suffering all of this problems!

Answer 6

Islam is literally the polar opposite of peace

There is nothing, more opposite to peace itself, than Islam

THATS A FACT. THATS REALITY.

Answer 7

They are just 400 years behind Christianity. And I mean that in all seriousness.

Answer 8

how can christians be about peace and love when historically they went around forcing their religion onto others. hence, christianity is the largest one on earth.

and now, they use economy to fight their wars ... and smart bombs and fighter planes and .... etc.

Answer 9

What's worse than muslims doing this is that I have yet to hear from a muslim that condemns their rioting that threats of murder.

Answer 10

Hello I haven’t seen really a Muslim post on this so let me say I am a Muslim who follows Allah. Islam doesn’t teach hate never has.
8.46
And obey Allah and His messenger, and dispute not one with another lest ye falter and your strength depart from you; but be steadfast! Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.


I would like to address Truman’s incorrect information.
1 The young wife of the Prophet Mohammad.
In the middle ages girls were married as they had their fist period that would be from 9 till 14 years of age. In the dark ages some girl child that were born were married as soon as they came from the womb. This was to seal a bond. All this was down with out Islam. Islam brought the guide of giving the rights to women. If a woman didn’t want to marry she didn’t have to. There is a story of a woman coming to the Prophet Mohammad saying she didn’t love her husband the Prophet told her that to give her dower back and then you will be divorced. Watch this for more on the Prophet Mohammad http://www.islamtomorrow.com/muhammad/

Ok 2 you put a lot of verse up but you didn’t give all the words of them nor you do you cite them correctly. I will only talk about one
You say that the Quran says to
“Quran tells Muslims to kill the disbelievers wherever they find them (Q. 2:191), to murder them and treat them harshly” But you didn’t read it fully

2.190
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
2.191
And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them.
002.192
But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful
002.193
And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.


If you see it is telling Muslims to fight only with those who fight you. This is from the Quran and we are to follow.

To add to this what you see a lot in the Middle East isn’t the truth about Islam. Just as that madman in Waco, Tx. Or the guy who did the Oklahoma Bombing.

Now I will show you from the bible verses that I found to be violent

A child who hits or curses his parents must be executed. 21:15, 17
21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
21:16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
21:17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
If you make God angry enough, he will kill you and your family with his own sword.22.24

Ok I know what your saying that after Jesus’ came he died for all “our” sins so that doesn’t count
All below comes from the Bible. And in no way am I dissing Jesus we Muslim love Jesus as all the other prophets as we love the last Prophet Mohammad saw.

Jesus explains why he speaks in parables: to confuse people so they will go to hell. 4:11-12

4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.


Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children as required by Old Testament law. (See Ex.21:15, Lev.20:9, Dt.21:18-21) 7:9-10
7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death

Now to me this is confusing. I mean when I was a Christian I was told that Jesus cam and with his coming he took what was said in the old testament wasn’t to old anymore????

Clearly that’s not the truth of that. If Jesus said to kill your children if they curse you.

Can you think of the kids today that curse you today you could kill them according to the law of the bible. I have 3 kids and one is a teenager and has said many things to me that would make me able to use this law.

So befor you go to Insult know what you are trying to prove I advise you to research and not of the net go to an Islamic center in your area and get the true information.

I am not asking you to convert because if you go to hell that will be on you not me. I just want you to get the facts right.
