do you think Islam is a peaceful religion?

Answer 1

No I don't think so.I can frown on many other religions and members from my own religions are no saints but when it comes to Islam you know I got my doubts.I would be a liar if I said I have never come across a good Muslim ,however when they congregate I am very vary of them.

Answer 2

As a religion the ideas and beliefs that Islam teaches is very peaceful like Christianity. However, some of the people like some Christians and Jew and others are not peaceful.

I really do think that a fault of Islam in America is that we confuse their religion with their ethnic group.

Answer 3

YES It is for those who are educated about the religion and who truly follow the religion the proper way. Just bad people who do not follow it right give it a bad name and that is sad. You should see what the name Islam and Muslim means and you would see the meaning is very close to peace.

Answer 4

True Muslims condemn terrorism & murder. The ones that commited heinous crimes in the name of ALLAH (GOD), they will also be judged individually by ALLAH.

"Religions/Terrorism
Islam is, beyond doubt, a religion of peace. The Holy Quran is a testimony to that. Without singling out any one community, it is acknowledged with the utmost regret that there has been mindless violence in the name of Islam. In what way can individuals square it in their minds is a most personal matter for them, one only they can answer. The Holy Quran teaches us that each soul is accountable for what it earns in this world. Islam believes that God taught all major religions. Indeed, all religions preach non-violence against innocent people. However, there are followers in the world of all religions practice terrorism. I shall not go into the details of it; I do not believe I need to. However, in the present age, the media invariably highlights terrorist acts by Muslims, although a Muslim who commits heinous crime is, no exception. The mind of all religious fanatics thinks it is doing a meritorious job! Islam does not promote violence. Any religious teachings can be perverted in the mind of a believer. Almost always there are underlying strong motives; political, racist, or good old-fashioned revenge, based on hate. That blurs the thought process of an individual or a group and they view their heinous acts as meritorious screening their negative passion with the cloak of religion. Indeed, throughout history, many a tormenting crimes have been committed in the name of religion. It has been and still is a most unfortunate universal problem."

Even our US government knows that Islam means peace & ALLAH means GOD. They know the difference between hard working peacefull Muslims with their families &
the Al-Qaeda/taliban.
When non-Muslims ask questions about Islam when they are confused about something, I hope they are also ready to listen. إينشا الله

Answer 5

No. I think that there are some who are peaceful, but the majority of the worlds Muslims are either hateful people, or allow the hatred to continue without an attempt to stop the violent ones.

So Islam is a curse upon the face of the Earth, if you ask me, and you did.

Answer 6

Do the first words of the quran give that impression? The peaceful ones are what you call "radical muslims". The actual muslims are never peaceful - none of muhammad's first followers were peaceful, and latecomers that imitate Christians in peacefulness are missing the point of whom they have given their minds and names away to.

Noor, if a satanist suddenly decides to act like a southern baptist, but remains in name a satanist, he is misapplying the name of something worthless to something else. Maybe you are decent, but then you are ignorant of what muslims are. You are trapped in islamic society, but not fully following that false prophet muhammad.

Liz, Arabs aren't violent, muslims are. If someone doesn't agree with the violence and perversity of muhammad, let him stop cheering that evil man, and get a new name and a clean new start, free of the bad vibe.

The extremists are just being completely islamic. It's a false religion, and those that are not extremely islamic are barely like muhammad. Let go of his cult, then, and let the only people call themselves muslims that practice that terror.

"islam" does not mean peace - it means "submission"! Stop the lies! muhammad made up the name-form "allah", basing it supposedly on "al-illah". The Bible says that the antichrist would make a false covenant of peace. And mulsims lie and pretend that a word for submission means peace. jihad means stuggle, and muslims sruggle to bring the nations to despair of resisting worldwide rape, and just give in (come to "peace" with their overwhelming overbearing oppression). There is a Hebrew word older than the quran, which means the sighing of one under a weight - that word is "allah".

Answer 7

Yes I think Islam is a peaceful religion in line with the pure islamic teaching.Islam is spread out without force.Allah the only one God spoke in the holy Qur'an that humans were created for loving and helping each other,no bloodshed and no destruction on this earth.Allah spoke also that your religion is yours and my religion is mine.We worship to our God and you worship to your God.We would not be your God's worshipper and you would not be our God's worshipper
There is no force for becoming a muslim.We should spread out salam or peace to other..We pay a prayer for goodness,
happiness,safety and prosperity not only for us but also for other.We can not humiliate and insult other.We can not hate and dishonest other.We can not cheat other.It is spoken in the holy book.If we practise the life guide as stated in the Qur'an this world will be everlasting peace.The radical muslims made a terror because they felt that other group did not treat them fairly.But radical is not only in Islam religion there are many also in other religion followers.But their quatity is very small.I think they did not apply the pure islamic teaching,because often its casualty of radicalism is the innocent people..

Answer 8

Islam is a from of government. No. Islam is not Peaceful.

Answer 9

Having studied it for over thirteen years, I have no doubt about that statement.
When your source is "The News", it does not say much about the credibility of your opinion. Secondly, most Muslims do not make the effort to study their religion in detail to understand what it's all about. The same is true for other faiths; people love adhering to religions but do not study and explore and question.

Answer 10

Most people in Muslim countries aren't as extremist as suicide bombers... as suicide bombing is controversial in Muslim countries because they believe suicide is a sign of unbelief in God. Any religion that has spread as far as Islam has had to have been pretty aggressive.. I mean look at Christianity and how it spread in America... through subjugation of the natives.
