Islam does give its believers a sense of internal peace. Peace enough to rage at people who aren't doing them any harm.

"Islam, a Religion of Peace®? Some links..."
subtitled "Thank G-d, Most Muslims Are Apostates"
(that's the take-home message I've learned, seeing how cataclysmic carnage would ensue if
most Muslims actually followed the non-negotiable commands of The Koran, Hadith, etc.)

MEMRI ^ | 1/27/2004 | Yigal Carmon
I think Steven den Beste at USS Clueless has said it pretty well...
"The Arabs who think America hates Arabs should consider what their own governments would do to Israel if they had one thousandth of the nuclear arsenal that the US has, and then compare that to what the US has actually done. Do our actions really make sense as an expression of hatred, given what else we could have done instead?
We are not acting out of hatred, but we will not pander to the Arabs. We are going to give the Arabs what they need, but that is not what many of them want. And in the short run, some Arabs will interpret that as cruelty on our part. But if we were motivated by hatred for the Arabs, we wouldn't be bothering with that; instead, we would have killed them all within the first week after the Arab attack against us."

DOES ISLAM PROMOTE PEACE?
1. WHAT THE QURAN SAYS. The familiar term jihad, often translated holy war, literally means struggle. Many Muslims emphasize that jihad is about struggling against evil desires and, if necessary, defending ones homeland and religious heritage. "Fight for the sake of God those that fight against you, but do not attack them first. God does not love the aggressors. Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is more grievous than bloodshed.... Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Gods religion reigns supreme." (Quran 2:190-192) [Note: Quranic quotes from N.J.Dawoods English translation (The Koran, Penguin Books, UK, 1993)]. A favorite verse of moderate Muslims is 2:256 which says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion. True guidance is now distinct from error." Militant Muslims, however, will point you to numerous Quranic texts where Muhammad (as Allahs spokesman) commands his followers to fight and subdue all who resist Islam. What leads young men to volunteer to die for the privilege of killing others "for the cause of Allah"? Could it have something to do with the fact that Islam offers no certain hope of heaven to any of its adherents, with one exception? Consider these few Quranic verses...
- "As for those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not allow their works to perish. ... He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them." (47:4-6)
- "Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the hereafter, fight for the cause of God; whether he dies or triumphs, We shall richly reward him. ... The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan ..." (4:74,76)
- "The believers who stay at homeapart from those that suffer a grave impedimentare not the equals of those who fight for the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God has given those that fight with their goods and their persons a higher rank than those who stay at home ..." (4:95,96)
- "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. ... lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way ..." (9:5)
- "Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter: except those that repent before you reduce them ..." (5:34,35)
- "Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and Gods religion shall reign supreme" (8:39)
- "Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms. If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish two hundred; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding." (8:65)
- "Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given ... and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued." (9:29)
