Do you really believe that Islam really is a beautiful and peaceful religion or do you think that's bs?

Question

I hear that it's evil and violent from some and that it's peaceful and beautiful from others!! Who is telling the truth!?

Answer 1

My answer to you is to watch the news and read the papers. The evidence of Islamic violence is shown daily. Their hatred for Jews, Christians, and non-Muslims is manifest. They are instructed by the Qu'ran to do so. I see nothing about them that even remotely points to being peaceful. The Qu'ran is a hate book, and it promotes the killing of innocent people.

So that is my answer to you.

Best wishes.

Answer 2

I'm muslim...the religion is beautiful.......
People practicing it can be both though.

My parents...came from a backwater area. When they moved to america and met other muslims they learned completley differet views on the religion

THey had to basically realearn the religion from scratch.
THey learned some of the thigns they learned wer wrong, and some of the things the tohe rpeople were saying were wrong.

Islam is suppose to dicate your cultural life and people that are muslm undersatnd that. But they dont' think or ask if their culture dictates their religion or their relgion dicates their culture.

My parnets learned that their culture, they are indian in decent so they had hindu beliefs put into islam....... were wrong to some extent ....other people learned they wer edoing cultural things, not religious things. As a community we definatly grew stronger. We have shia and sunii praying side by side and even some lesser knwon "sects"...in iraq they are killing eachother.

Dont' listen to me if you really wanna know islam. Read the koran. There is your only way of konwing the truth about it.

Taliban for instnace. I'm agaisnt theri beliefs.....but when the soviets controlled afghanistan....they were forceful of people to drink (somthing not allowed in islam) and they demanded the women wear revealing clothing(again somthing not allowed in islam). When the taliban got control...they went the exact opposite of waht the soviets did. They took soviet ideology and went reverse.

In my mind, too exreme and not islamic, but given their circumstance...almost understandable.

Another problem i think there is..is language.

America, england english....australian...etc. All english...but are different languages in essence

The koran is written in an ancient arabic dialiect. You reading the arabic will have no idea waht it actually means and in essence, an arab doesnt' either.
You have to find a copy that has a scholar explaining it. That has isseus too....you have to research teh scholors background and understand he is legit.

Most of the english translated koran's have reputable scholars and the terrorists dont' use these versions.

Finally, islam dictates your religious social and political life.
Someone born into islam ...just on principle..if he is religious or not....will seem ultra religious to an outsider.

No one calls hitler a chistian terrorist. He doesn't follow the teachings of jesus at all. Jesus was a peacful man.

A muslim though...well muslmi born man. FOllows the religion or just goes through the motions will always say "allahu akbar" (God is great)_if he means it or not.

Hope you understand what im'y saying there. Guy can give a rats a ss about religion, but if he's born muslim, due to society, he'll atleast act like it.

Islam is peaceful in the end........people only quote the violent parts when they seem fit and there are some violent messages. If somone rapes somone, kill them. ....if osmeone commits murder...kill them.
It even says if someone is a "terrorist" kill them.
BUt if the person commits the crime agaisnt you, even though it is stated they are punished by death, you yourself can forgive them.

Basically if someoem shoots your wife, they are punished by death and you can say....i 'll let them live.


In the end...i think islam is like any other religion.....it tells you the obvious of life, do not kill, do not steal, do not rape....etc. Then there are osme things that are different....but not outlandish.

There are very few things in islam that will seem completely bizarre to a westerner. And then hey, that is religion.

Answer 3

I believe it is. Trust me, before i even met my friend who is Pakistani i would have thought it was all b.s. But when i got to know her very well and her views on stuff and when i learned a lot more about her religion, i just took that back. I believe it is a beautiful and peaceful religion. My friend doesn't hate anyone and many Muslims want the best for many people but you don't see them that much. The person who says it's beautiful and peaceful are telling the truth. I know so many right now and their views on what's going on right now is that they do not like it and that it is against God's Laws.

Answer 4

I don't know of any religion that doesn't have potential for violence! It's all a matter of interpretation of their teachings.
You've probably read of the religious wars of the dark ages when hordes of armies calling themselves christians destroyed villages and people across Europe and likewise the muslims returned the atrocities. The holocaust was committed by a catholic nation under the leadership of Adolf Hitler.

Answer 5

No I don't think so. If this a really beautiful and peaceful religion, why this people acting crazy?

Answer 6

all the religions in the world are peaceful and truth
can u prove any religion saying killing is must
some of the bad people from the religion brings bad name for the religion and i gone through islam
i felt it is the most perfect religion for the modern world

Answer 7

I am a muslim and yes I believe it is a religion of peace and tranquility, There is a very small number who are evil, its just the same with every religion, you telling me there is not one bad christian/jew etc etc out there?

Answer 8

I think that is BS ----anything that spawns what they do teaches hate ---otherwise, why would they want to attach themselves to Islam?

Answer 9

It ain't bad! Islam means surrender peacefully to God.

Answer 10

yes...Islam itself means PEACE
