Is Islam a religion of peace?
I tried to find the article from the Ottawa Sun written by a young guy who left Islam... in it he writes that Islam is not a peaceful religion and the Kuran does indeed dictate the destruction of the infidels. I will see if I can find it.
Yogi Yogi:
*During these serious and trying times, people of all faiths should
remember these four great religious truths:
1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.
2. Jews do not recognize Christ as the Messiah.
3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the
Christian world.
4. Mennonites do not recognize each other at Hooters or the Liquor Store.*
References to "infidels" in Koran do not apply to Christians or Jews, whom the Koran actually refers to as fellow "people of the book".
The "Infidels" were the pagan Arab tribes that drove the first Muslims out of Mecca and with whom they fought a series of wars in the very early years.
You can play that same game and take just as many violent quotes from the Bible or the Torah to prove that Christianity and Judaism are violent religions too. It's a fool's game. Every religion and culture contains texts that justify violence against others even as they have others that promote peace and tolerance...this is a reflection of the basic human tendency to claim innocence and benign intent even while acting aggressively and maliciously toward others.

I think that sometimes we confuse "ideology" with "religion". I'd suggest that recent activities regarding terrorists or rogue states has more do with ideology than a particular faith
Islam is a religion of peace, just like the chatholics were during the crusades. it sucks whenever a religion involves itself heavily with politics
There are plenty of peaceful people who follow Islam.

That's what you write every time you make up bullshit comments. We know you have no intention of doing so, because you made it up. Still waiting for those stats you promised saying whites were a minority in BC.

until there is separation of church and state, there are plenty of peaceful people that sit at the same table as terrorists, crime lords and radical extremists. Groups like Hesbalah run daycares , hospitals, and the local police
funny... if I'm on your ignore list...why do you reply(talk about shaky mental health)? Then again, there are plenty of others out there who will call you on your constant bullshit

Hezbollah(sp? like the drug cartels do shit like this to win the loyalty of those they insert themselves into. It's an extra ring of security, not altruism that motivates them.

C'mon Shep,kenny never let's things like facts interfere with his mindless rants!
Meh. No more violent than the mutant breed of Christianity currently being practiced in rich western nations. Probably less violent than communism.
