Hell, every day for almost four years, the leftist media has been telling us that Islam is "peaceful," and the fact that they do not have one single example of their "pacifism" is irrelevant.
I don't think the media would dare use the word "pacifist" in relation to muslims, not because its inaccurate but because it is offensive to them.
This may sound crazy (actually, no it doesn't), but there are parts of the quran where Mohammad specifically bans "pacifism" though not using that word.
Pacifistic means of resistance are prohibited. The actions in islam are considered akin to treason.
Its why no one can ever mouth the words to Palestinians, since its like asking them to get together and eat bacon, their religion bans it.
