Islam the religion of peace, the religion that loves, not hates?

Question

I can feel the love in this video.. People who move to a foreign land, enjoy the freedoms of the land.. and wish to tear it apart.

Islam, your rhetoric will only get you so far. Your actions clearly speak louder than your words.. How long do you expect the world to continue to support you when videos such as this show your true intention.

Shameful, absolutely disgusting filth.. Call me ignorant, call me “racist”, insult me as you wish but this amongst hundreds of other videos clearly show the intent of a multitude of your people.

I expect this question will be deleted shortly, it is amazing.. I can question Christians and they do not seem to try to censor me, they only correct me when they can.. This message is not just about loathing, it is about showing others the truth.

Globetrotter,

Yes I have, and they were fundamental.. They were not all that loving.. Actually they were quite rude, and racist. They were from India. I worked with them for a year. My wife used to work at a hotel, and as an insult many Muslims would not use the toilet, instead they would go to the bathroom on the floor (Yes that is true). I have known a few liberal Muslims that drank, ate pork, and were overall cool.. But they are not considered Muslims by most Fundy Muslims. They never spoke out against the religion either, it is little wonder why.

Answer 1

Okay. You're ignorant. I have MANY Muslim friends, and they act NOTHING like these guys in that video. They act more like this:

Do you know any Muslims personally? The many millions of peaceful, loving members of Islam don't make the news because people sitting around laughing, taking care of each other with gentleness, and living in a deep brotherhood don't make for interesting news.

Reply: It seems you've already made your mind up, and I can do nothing to change that. All I can do is say that those people you met don't represent all of Islam. There are people who are NOT Muslim who act just as badly. It's so important to look at people as individuals and not lump them into a whole. I've had bad run ins with people who I knew were Muslim, also people I knew to be Hindu - but I didn't hold it against their entire religion and every individual comprising it.

If you came here as my guest and I told my Muslim friends you were coming, they would make you dinner, ensure your comfort and wish you well.

Answer 2

Islam is the religion of peace and love. There is trash in every religion of the world however, and apparently your wife has experienced that. I apologize for that because pious Muslims would never do such things. As for the video, I don't watch crap on youtube. Instead I see in front of me (I live in a Muslim country) true, peaceful, loving Muslims, which is REALITY.

Answer 3

Islam is a peaceful religion. It is just that many people are twisting it. What they said on the video is not supported by Allah. In the Quran there is nothing but peace and love.

Answer 4

One of the many short comings which has arisen in the West, is judging Islam by the conduct of a minority of its people. By doing this, segments of Western society have deliberately played off the desperate actions of many Muslims, and have given it the name of Islam. Such behaviour is clearly not objective and seeks to distort the reality of Islam. For if such a thing was done Judge a religion by the conduct of its people) then we too could say that all Christianity is about is child molesting and homosexuality By using the many cases of child abuse and homosexuality by priests, Such a generalisation about Christianity could be made

Answer 5

Don't let the video mislead you. It's no different than democrats in the US who want you to believe that the whole country is against the war in Iraq just because protesters gather in WDC.

The people who are protesting are against the war. The people who stayed home often aren't.

When I go to the Middle East, I don't see protests like this. In fact, Westerners can move around many of the cities almost unnoticed.

The video does, however, offer compelling evidence that Muslims need to come out in force against terrorism or the rest of us will just continue to develop resentment against them. It's not up to them to prove they're peaceful, but the trend doesn't rely on rights, it relies on public popularity.

Answer 6

All religions are essentially good. It is the individuals and the external factors during specific times that brings forth the worse in every and any follower of a religion. All major religions and their believers go through a cycle of good and bad behaviour - sometimes lasting for centuries.

Answer 7

I do agree with that there is a great evil amongst the religion. But I do feel that it is with the Shiite now the Sunni. I feel that the former is the majority of the evil and the hatred. The later is not as crazy.
But in general I do agree with what you are saying.

Answer 10

Islam is a false religion because its teachings (below) are agaisnt the Scriptures (Matthew 5:11-12, Matthew 5:38-39, Romans 12:14, Romans 12:17-21, Proverbs 16:29 - Christianity).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. (S.48, A.29)

O ye who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (S.9, A.123)

Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for persecution is worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more persecution and the religion becomes Allah's. But if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression. (S.2, A.190-193, bold added)

Let not the Unbelievers think that they have escaped, they will never frustrate (them). Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the Cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (S.8, A.60)

O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding. (S.8, A.65)

But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your Faith, - fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: For their oaths are nothing to them: That thus they may be restrained. Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and attacked you first? Do ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe! Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and disgrace them Help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers. (S.9, A.12-14)

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (S.9, A.29)

Islam is a violent religion.
