How can Muslims say Islam is a religion of peace when they have this verse?

Question

It explicity says it didnt come for peace but the sword

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.



Matthew 10:34-37

Answer 1

That's a Biblical verse. I'm sure there are many violent verses in Qur'an that you could use to trash Muslims, if that's what will make you feel better than them and if that'll help you build your self-esteem. But next time do check your sources please. Bible doesn't equal Qur'an.
.

Answer 2

wow! is that an honest confession or what! By the way, if fighting people who attempt at eradicating your religion is violence then what your military forces are doing at the border is also wrong, why? don't they kill people in defending their country? Think about it! Also if you want to know why which verse was revealed and the context behind the verse, read TAFSIR, which is the book on explanatory text , explaining verses of QURAAN.

Answer 3

In th ename of Allah, the Most Beneficient, The most merciful :

"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching ( fair exhortation ); and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." Holy Qur'an { 16. An-Nahl: 125}

devise and cheating is not the way to call for Islam.
may Allah (swt) forgive those who have aquiered this sin by mistake, amen.

Answer 4

Im a Muslim, and are you trying to be funny by pointing out the issues in the Bible by misleading some Christians into thinking its about Muslims?

Answer 5

U should have given reference from which chapter and from which verse of Quran u quoted this paragraph.
1. Islam means peace.
Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means submitting one’s will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).

Answer 6

Answer 9

Christ came to this world to deliver man from sin. At the time he was for Jews, after his death the rest of the world was included.
He came to offer to man kind equallity to his satus. This means giving up you relationship with your maternal struture if need be.
God comes first your family relations second.
And I ask muslims to distupe this with their relationship to their god. Muslims need be , we can bring up honor killigs?

Answer 10

You are aware, aren't you, that Matthew is a book of the Bible, not the Holy Qur'an?
