Is Islam The Greatest Threat To World Peace Today...?

Question

...or do we need to separate the extremists from the true believers who understand that Islam is NOT a religion that condones violence and the murder of innocent Kafir's? If so, how?

Answer 1

I am what most people refer to as christian. I don't believe Islam is the greatest threat to world peace now or any other day. My religion will hate me for saying this. All religion is a threat to world peace. As far as I can see almost all the religions of the world teach the same thing. Don't kill, don't mess around, don't steal, respect your elders. So if we get rid of all the extremists in all religions. We might not have a problem.

Answer 2

Islam is a religion that condones violence, there are specific verses in the Koran mandating Muslims to kill or convert non-believers, even if some won't recognize it/ignore it. Furthermore, the founder of Islam was a warlord, and that was central to his religious beliefs. Saying Islam is not violent is like saying the Branch Davidians weren't. However, I have not once criticized Islam in my commentary, I do not necessarily think that this is bad, however, I do think that is the root to the biggest threat to world peace today. Though, hypothetically speaking a belligerent China would also be severely problematic.

I am afraid to tell u that its what ISLAM has given a bad name, In 1971 richest islamic country saudia once threat USA of stop selling oil to them, it was a wake up call for them, since that day these plans started to let them down in every field,
In early seventies who were the most popular character, they were muslims, like ALI BABA, HATAM TAI, bcz muslims had all the best at that time.
After 9/11 the most selling book in USA was actually a QURAN, bcz ppl really wanted to find out that is it actually islam tell muslims to kill all other religion people, i am afraid ppl got it rong, islam teaches to even respect minorities, for chirtians built Churches, for Hindus built temples,
I have an example here for you, Pakistan is an islamic state where u can find all religious building, bcz it was what islam says..
I say who Asama Bin laden is?? dont u guys know that early 1990s bush father and bin laden ran a company together which was the most profit making company at that time, who is supporting Asama bin laden??? who is actually feeding him , dunt u guyz have its answer, whooo....
I understand that we have to believe this too that there are extremist too, but u cant judge a book with its cover, i have sympathies for thoz who are being taught rong of islam, who are actually brain washed.
I must say Islam is not a threat to world, but what actually threat is the people who have tuck bullet of islam in their gunz and name it we gonna kill whole world.

How do you separate the true Christians from the fanatics like George?

In America you only hear a sound bite from the radical Muslims, and if they say something moderate a CNN guy will tell you what he really meant to say, and what he said 15 years ago.
Who did you hear talk at Columbia?? it wasn't the man giving the speech, but I heard the introduction to him 20 times

bluesoul_3: Agreed!


The Western Media has caused the west to believe in their point of view, and only giving one side of the story blinds the people viewing: that is almost everybody. It has made its "victims" extremely ignorant, and I am truly proud of those who see through its schemes. The Media has forced its viewers to believe that Islam is a violent, bloody, intolerant religion, but in reality this is actually the opposite. If people would stop accepting their television sets as their teachers, more people would know the actual truth about Islam. The Media reports misleading stories, gross exaggerations, inaccurate information, and false statements about Islam and Muslims to undermine the religion, and unfortunately, this propaganda is a success--many, MANY Americans believe everything they hear on the news or read in the newspaper. What they fail to realize is that what they read/hear is only one point of view of a bias Media that has been criticizing Muslims with false information vigorously since 9/11.

Terrorism is CONDEMNED in Islam; it is not allowed, period. Neither is innocent murder, suicide of any kind, forced marriages or forced conversions. These are all misleading fabrications composed by the Media. You can't always believe what you hear.

Terrorists are not true Muslims; they use Islam as a mask to cover up their dirty work, and give Islam a bad name. Most of them are only Muslim by name, yet are still accused of acting upon Islamic teachings, when in actuality, they are not. It is not fair for the majority of Muslims, who oppose terrorism and denounce violence that is occurring. Unfortunately, the Media will never let this be known, making it look like Muslims support these radical actions, when in reality they absolutely do not.

Please refer to the following video. It is very true, and will provide valuable insight; I strongly recommend watching it:

No. You need to seperate the extremists in every religion from the true believers.
