... relative peace? Just like Buddhism brought the Orientals together in relative peace. And Christianity the Western Nations in relative peace. And...
Are you getting any of this?

Islam is the ultimate peace. The word 'Islam' itself comes from the Arabic word 'salaam' meaning peace. Islam has a universal message that relates to all people. Islam was not readily accepted at first by a lot of Arab nations but once the people saw the truth in the glorious religion they were moved.
This is a good point you brought up about different religions power when it comes to bringing people together. More people should be open-minded and willing to look for good in all people like you did. Peace out 'brother', LoL

Hmmmm!?!?
Did Buddhism ever cause any killing and genocide?
I don't think so!
But then, let's take a look at Islam, shall we?
Mohammad wipes out the beni al Nadir and takes their teenage Princess - Safiyyah for a wife!
Mohammad takes young Maimuna for a wife, offered up to him by the Meccans so that he won't unleash his revenge on them! Then, he massacres 900 beni al Quraish Jews!? The very tribe to which he belonged!? and sells the remaining few to slavery!?
How many Jews did Mohammad butcher? If I'm not mistaken, he beat Adolf Hitler, leaving him look like he was standing still in that genocidical race, ain't it?
And how many more people did he and all the foundation of Islam cost their lives? Wasn't that millions?
Now, let's see the course of Islam through the centuries and WOW! They've butchered close to a billion, already!?
Oh, by the way, who's been butchering the Shi'a, the Sufi, the Dawoodi Bohra and so many more to the recent Baha'i? Surely not the "Peaceful" Islam? GASP!?
So, what were you saying about "relative Peace", again?

Are you watching the news? See what's going on over in Iraq. Arab on Arab violence. How about the Palestinians? Pakistan, Saudi Arabia? I haven't seen any Baptist death squads going around wiping out Catholics.

No, I don't think so. People in western civilizations aren't violently fighting each other. People in Asian civilizations aren't violently fighting each other. The Arab nations on the other hand have a suicide bomber around every corner BECAUSE of Islam.

Yes, that is apparent from Somalia, Iraq and Palestine.
Yes, they ALL love each other in those places!
Islamic Peace in action. The Iraqi VP saw that today during his speech!

That is true, during the 1980's Iran and Iraq was in an 8 year war.
Afganistan and Russia was at war. Pakistan and India was at war. Now they are at Unity in hating Western civilization.
Bush wanted to unite them and he did. Now they all want to kill Americans.

Prophet Muhammad brought peace to war torn Arabia in just two decades. You are right, that is worthy of praise.
