NO i just read someone answer and they said that they would never be in a religion of "hate"

the media associates jihad as a bloody war in the name of god...that isnt true..there are 2 types of jihad the greater jihad and the lesser jihad

the lesser jihad is the so called "bloody war" and it can only be carried out for protection purposes and to help the opressed so the war in palestine can be called the lesser jihad because the palestinians are protecting themselves from the oppressors

the greater jihad is when you conquer yourself EXAMPLE. you want to cheat on your test but then you remember god and forget wanting to cheat...that is the greater jihad

so jihad cannot be falsely thought of as a bloody war where muslims go and kill people

there are bad people in every religion and we all need to realize that

Yes. If you have the Koran and only the Koran and the God Allah, who doesn't beget. You will have the Allah of the Koran. And you would have to kill your siblings if they converted to believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Because the Koran writes to kill the unbeliever. So this God will kill you through followers (Muslims) if you don't believe it & not convert to it when presented 3 time.

I don't want a God that has things like this in His Word. My God is sooo much better.

I was raised believing in Jesus, and Jesus Word is sooo much better. His blood redeems me from sin. Jesus has the Word of everlasting life. Jesus made a way for me to pray to God & have God hear me & answer. And Jesus doesn't tell me any place in His Word to strap a bomb on myself to kill the enemy of Christianity. Or to kill anyone. He tells me to Love God and love others, including my enemies.

I believe the Word of God (Holy Bible) to be true. This Word has brought me victory in my personal life already. There is no personal victory in Islam. Only feeling guilty for having to be a suicide bomber in a nearby restaurant because there is an enemy of Islam in there.

Thanks for those Koran verses 0900.

At least, when Jesus spilt blood, it was His Own.

kveryevective has many current Islamic attacks. I skimmed through them, but didn't see the killings of the Iraqi Pastor of a Christian Church who was recently beheaded or the 14 yr old boy who was crucified for sharing his faith, or the Iraqi women going to church so they poured acid on their faces. Christians by the 1000s are leaving the sunni/ shiite strong holds in fear of their life right now. Yet they are opening up the borders so more weapons can come in.

I am just totally discusted with all the murders done in the name of Islam. Where are these people going to go when they die? When the wrath of God is poured on this earth, it is going to be poured on those who destroy Gods creation, and who kill Gods (Holy Bible) people.

Any faith could properly be utilized for violence, any thought for that remember could properly be taken up for a reason that ends up in violence. Islam itself, in case you learn basically what it says could properly be damaging to thoughts exterior of itself, basically as Christians could properly be the comparable way, even nevertheless the Koran does not limit violence almost as strongly because of the fact the recent testomony of the bible, HOW ever look on the OT, and how violent that replaced into, it fairly is all subjective, and easily real learn on the problem provides you with solutions.

There are a lot of "Christians", Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Sihks and others who believe that killing in "certain" circumstances can be "justified".

However, all the above have been taught that to love (respect) God, our Creator, with their whole being and above all earthly "things" and to think and act with compassion and forgiveness toward their fellow (wo)men is the right way for any person to live and achieve inner PEACE.

According to those wisdoms killing, or even hating and judging, is Not an option. (Someone should tell G.W. Bush! He claims to be a Christian! or others who claim to kill in the name of "religion".)

Jesus said: ...Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them tha thate you... Matt. 5: 44.
Mohamed said: ..."If any show patience and forgive, that truly would be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs." Qur'an: Sura 42:43 (Counsel)

Google for "compassion and forgiveness" in any religion and you will find similar wisdoms.

Just imagine! If all "Christians", Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Sihks and Jews would willingly (not because they have been told) act out of compassion toward the "others" (as they were taught!) there truly would be peace on Earth!

Unfortunately we are not perfect and to bear "our cross" often seems too hard (or illogical, or "unscientific). - No, I'm not perfect either!

But since the concept appears to us as “not logical”, “impractical”, "unscietific" or “unrealistic”. So we find excuses or make to “interpretations” or pick certain more “logical” parts from our holy books to “justify” our actions, and forget about the basic truth.

That’s why we have "Jihad" and why we had “holy wars” and why we are still condemning and fighting “the others” (infidels or whatever!). That’s also why we have various fractions of Muslims or Christians or Jews or Buddhists etc., though they ALL teach the wisdom of compassion and forgiveness.

As someone put it: To love is the answer - whatever the question!

Is Islam a violent religion?

Of course NOT!

Look what the Shia and Sunni are doing to each other!
~~~~~~~~
The Great Pretender (Mo.) was born in 570AD or 571AD and died in 632AD.
Mo left no instructions as to which son or whoever should lead the cult after his death.
The Tikrit moon worshipers have been fighting and killing each other over the leadership ever since.
That is 1,375 (?) years....so much for the religion of PEACE !

Shi'a and Sunni both want to lead the pack.
Leaving out the Sufi, Kharijites, Ibadi, Ahmadis, Wahabi, and Bahii.

Yes, Islam is a very violent religion, responsible for the deaths of countless thousands, yet you continue to cry foul and maintain that your religion is peaceful. Try selling your brand of peaceful worship to the thousands killed on September 11, 2001. I seriously doubt they'll buy it.

If you want Islam to be seen as the religion of peace, you need to do something to change the view this world has. I have yet to see one follower do anything to make a difference, all I ever see is whining and complaining, and the raising of the persecution flag. No one will ever be convinced that Islam is anything but harmful if nothing is done to prove it.

It's up to you and your people to change Islam's image. You've got quite a job ahead of you.

According to my recent reading of "Towards Understanding Islam," by Muhammad' Ataur-Rahim, the word "islam" is derived from "salaam" which means "peace." I think that's marvelous.

There are violent people in the world, people who are hungry for power and influence, and sadly, they use religions to persuade others to take up violence in service to those ends.

Nice ladies like you are saying that and believing that, but unfortunately there are people who definitely do believe jihad is about physical violence against the trouble-making unbeliever.

I think they are also inspired by passages inthe Koran to think that way .. I read it myself once, and know there are passages that can be taken that way. I was reading a Saudi translation, possibly other translations soften the words. Many of the crazies are Wahabis.

The Muslim countries kill their citizens if they convert to Christianity, in Saudi Arabia they still behead people. The majority of terrorists are Muslim. The Quran has hundreds of verses of Jihad. It means they think they are doing good deeds if they kill non-muslims just because of their beliefs of who is God. The suicide bombers think that they will go to a paradise of 72 virgin women for sex. There are also young boys there for their pleasure. I can go on and on, Im sorry you cant see whats in front of you. Open your eyes. God bless you.

the Twin Towers,
Madrid rail station,
London underground,
in Iraq every day,
Pakistan,
India,
Indonesia,
the Lockerby Pan Am flight,
the Achille Lauro italian ship,
and many others I can't recall,
well, if you forget all that then Islam is not a violent religion!
