Does Islam Mean Peace?
Rational Public Radio ^ | 2/25/11 | Scott Connery

Posted on 02/25/2011 12:59:02 PM PST by Scottmkiv

ou often hear it said that, "Islam means peace." This comes not just from Muslims, but from our own politicians. George W. Bush said that Islam is a, "Religion of Peace."

You hear that Islam is a faith which should be respected, and the US has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid offending Muslim sensibilities in the Iraq and Afghanistan.

We also hear over and over that Muslim terrorists have "hijacked" or "misunderstood" their religion. Only a tiny portion of Muslims are terrorists, so they must just be a loony fringe. Any group that contains over a billion people is bound to have a fair number of whackos, so it's not fair to use their actions to paint the whole group.

At the top Islam means, do what Moscow wants and use your people to defeat the West.

Uh huh. And War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

I have no idea what portion of islam is involved in terrorism. I do know it is a sufficient portion to keep the rest quiet and scared

Islam means ‘submission’. I heard a former member say it means peace only in the ‘the beatings will stop when you become one of us’ way.

If everyone is Muslim, of the exact same sect, and those pesky females are behaving themselves - possibly temporary peace, maybe.

Islam is a system of life. It’s not a religion.

Followers are taught to lie to infidels. Infidel defined: anyone who is not a Muslim.

Therefore, the system of life has no problem calling itself a religion for the purpose of infiltration and subsequently instituting Sharia wherever it deems necessary.

And, the bonus of tax free while carrying on their mission is good for business.

And, by the way entirely too many Muslims are on the dole in America. Just arrived in the last 10 years courtesy of Bush and Obambi.

Islam is peace. However, peace to them can only occur with worldwide Caliphate. So the nut bars are not lying when they say they are the religion of peace.

If Islam means peace...how the heck do they define "peace?"

My thinking is their definition of "peace" is world wide observation of Sharia law.

Islam = Peace is FALSE.

Islam = Sumbission is TRUE.

Remember this or regret it.

Let's compare:

Bible -- Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Koran -- Believers! wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbours, and let them find you rigorous: and know that God is with those who fear him

In Islam, Peace means lack of conflict not tolerance towards others.

A moderate muslim means one who thinks non-muslims shouldn’t be allowed to vote and should be the slaves of muslims.

A radical believes all non-muslims must convert or die.

Their religion’s promise of peace is only fulfilled when Islam has dominion over the entire earth and all the people that live upon it.
