Question

islam is a religion of peace, why are people interpreting it wrong? Why are people killing other people? why are some islamic scholars so dumb and have no idea what they are talking about?

Answer 1

Hmmmmmmmmm

I guess I am misinterpreting all the people that Muslim keep blowing up every day.

Those must be peaceful bombings

Answer 2

Islam is a religion of peace! Believe it or I'll kill you!

haha, just kidding. Anyway, I think Muslims deep down inside are truly afraid that something is very wrong with Islam, so they spread this garbage about "religion of peace." The truth is that Mohammed was a psychopath, a murderer and a pedophile.

Interestingly, many Muslims rationalize Mohammed's disgusting behavior such as raping and murdering by saying "well, that's what people did back then." Really, that would be like someone saying "well Hitler had a very good reason for killing those Jews." But keep in mind that Muslims are taught from birth that Mohammed must never be criticized.

Answer 3

Muhammad organized 65 military campaigns in the last ten years of his life and personally led 27 of them. The more power that he attained, the smaller the excuse needed to go to battle, until finally he began attacking tribes merely because they were not part of his growing empire.

After Muhammad’s death, his most faithful followers and even his own family turned on each other almost immediately. There were four Caliphs (leaders) in the first twenty-five years. Three of the four were murdered. The third Caliph was murdered by the son of the first. The fourth Caliph was murdered by the fifth, who left a 100-year dynasty that was ended in a gruesome, widespread bloodbath by descendents of Muhammad’s uncle.

Muhammad’s own daughter, Fatima, and his son-in-law, Ali, who both survived the pagan hardship during the Meccan years safe and sound, did not survive Islam after the death of Muhammad. Fatima died of stress from persecution within three months, and Ali was later assassinated. Their son (Muhammad’s grandson) was killed in battle with the faction that became today’s Sunnis. His people became Shias. The relatives and personal friends of Muhammad were mixed into both warring groups, which then fractured further into hostile sub-divisions as Islam grew.

Muhammad left his men with instructions to take the battle against the Christians, Persians and Jews. For the next four centuries, Muslim armies steamrolled over unsuspecting neighbors, plundering them of loot and slaves, and forcing the survivors to either convert or pay tribute at the point of a sword.

Companions of Muhammad lived to see Islam declare war on every major religion in the world in just the first few decades following his death - pressing the Jihad against Hindus, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and Buddhists.

By the time of the Crusades (when the Europeans began fighting back), Muslims had conquered two-thirds of the Christian world by the sword, from Spain to Syria, and across North Africa. The Arab slave-trading routes would stay open for another 1300 years, until pressure from Christian-based countries forced Islamic nations to declare the practice illegal (in theory).

Today, there is not another religion in the world that consistently produces terrorism in the name of religion as does Islam. The most dangerous Muslims are nearly always those who interpret the Qur’an most strictly. They are the fundamentalists or purists of the faith, and believe in Muhammad’s mandate to spread Islamic rule by the sword, putting to death those who will not submit.

The holy texts of Islam are saturated with verses of violence and hatred toward those outside the faith. In sharp contrast to the Bible, which generally moves from relatively violent passages to far more peaceful ones, the Qur’an travels the exact opposite path. The handful of earlier verses that speak of tolerance are overwhelmed by an avalanche of later ones that carry a much different message. While Old Testament verses of blood and guts are generally bound by historical context within the text itself, Quranic imperatives to violence usually appear open-ended.

By any objective measure, the "Religion of Peace" has been the harshest, bloodiest religion the world has ever known.

Answer 4

Maybe because those Islamic scholars actually read the Koran.

There is no interpreting "killing infidels" as peaceful.

Answer 5

The Queran gives instructions for making converts. A non-muslim will be asked 3 times to convert to Islam. The first time will be very politely. the 2nd time they are not asked, but demanded. The third time comes with a warning that if they do not convert and pray to allah, they will face death. The non-muslim is not asked a fourth time, they are killed. This is how Islam makes its converts, by force or by elimination. This is written in their queran (koran), and if they believe their queran, then this what they believe. Any Islamic leader or scholar who says otherwise is either lying, or is not a true Muslim.

Answer 6

The nonmuslims see the murders/raping that the islamic nuts.
That defines a faith often to those not of that faith.


The muslims who believe in killing/suicide etc, and litterally believe its godgiven right...also have it wrong...

Answer 7

Hateful people can read hate into any text and there are plenty of hateful people in the world. Just because some people are scholars does not mean that they are morally,emotionally and socially mature.
Why do some religious,atheist or secular leaders tolerate murder and infammatory actions that result in violence?

Answer 8

Same reason that those people of the other peaceful religion kill so often.

Answer 9

The whole idea of Islam being a religion of peace... that is a complete and total lie. If you do not believe me, look into they holy book of Islam (the Quran) yourself and see.

2:190 Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors. "Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you."

2:191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

2:216 Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.

3:151 We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.

4:76 Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil.

4:91 Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.

5:33 The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;

9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.

39:54 Turn unto your Lord repentant, and surrender unto Him, before there come unto you the doom, when ye cannot be helped.

46:34 And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real ? They will say: Yea, by our Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.

48:29 Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.

61:4 Lo! Allah loveth them who battle for His cause in ranks, as if they were a solid structure.

Answer 10

Oh the problems we encounter when we let organizations of man run our lives instead of standing firm on our on abilities ans convictions

Answer 11

People are not interpreting it wrong. Their doctrine is one of peace, but their actions are one of heinous crimes against women and children in the name of ALLAH---What is there about that which you dont understand. It is too bad that some good moral Muslims are being judged by actions of the radicals; however, they are not speaking out due to fear from their own.
