Of course - every religion is making propaganda for itself.
So ISIS is being violent because other Muslims mostly are not being true Muslims.? Good job. They must be the good guys.

Yeah, over 100 verses that call to violence. Religion of peace - right.

In addition, when you listen to the Muslim clerics who say that those words of violence really mean peace, they always talk so fast that you can't get your thoughts straight as to what they are saying. So, they turn Islam into peace.

Well, what they really do is turn it into peace for Muslims. They are very clever in the way they switch things around so that it looks like they are talking about everybody, but they are only really talking about peace for Muslims.

There is a sliver of Islam that is peace for non-Muslims. There is an unspecified time of outreach, where Muslims "must" offer peace to peaceful non-Muslims, during a time while they are trying to convert them to Islam. But nobody knows when this outreach time will end. And the peaceful Muslims have gone way beyond the time, and should have killed off a whole bunch of infidels long ago.

This is one of the things that ISIS is upset about... the fact that the other Muslims mostly are not being true Muslims.

In every society you have radical elements.
Especially in Islam they are very fertile ground , in many cases those are very poor people.
 Joining groups they finally have acceptance and find themselves useful.
Also by this way they provide security and existence for family, which is ery sad.
For someone to live someone else must die!?
So Islam is or is not Peace?

And when all those lands were under people like Gadafi,Husein,Asad there was peace and tolerance let say non violent also in Iran while Sah Pahlavi was there and  suddenly after their fall radical islam shows and rise up.

Both Saddam Hussein and Bashar al Assad were a part of the Arab nationalist Ba'áth party. Gaddhafi also was a proponent of Arab nationalism. They gave importance to Arab supremacy, and suppressed Islamic nationalism. Christian Arabs used to play an important role in the Ba'áth party and even now they are quite powerful.

Don't think so. Maybe just maybe in original version, but this interpretation we see now like radical islam definitely not. And when all those lands were under people like Gadafi,Husein,Asad there was peace and tolerance let say non violent also in Iran while Sah Pahlavi was there and  suddenly after their fall radical islam shows and rise up.

The record of muslim/jewish relations is very well documented and known. Jews were expelled from Jerusalem in 72 c.e. by the Romans. They were not allowed to re-settle in Jerusalem until Umar (the Prophet's companion and 2nd Caliph) conquered Jerusalem and allowed them back.

To set the record straight it was the Greeks who started the expelling before the Romans Wink

This is quite irrelevant.  Are we to believe that in the past, the Muslims were so nice and tolerant, but now they are not?  This is not a justification, but a simple statement that....

"Islam is not peace."

It's not I that make this assertion then, but those Muslims who preach it.  And where does this lead?

"Islam is peace, well except when it's not."

Let's hear how this can be because I'm not impressed.

The current problem between Jews and Muslims rests solely on the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948. Land, resources, and the displacement of the indigenous Arab population is the root cause of the current crises between the two parties. The myth of "they've hatted each other for 100's of years" only holds weight for someone who has not opened or read a history book.

When you are talking about the forced displacement of the Arabs, you are conveniently forgetting about the forced displacement of the Jews. During the 1940s and the 1950s, more than a million Jews had to flee the Arab nations, especially Yemen, Iraq, Morocco, Libya, and Egypt. They were never compensated and now there are no Jews in any of these nations. On the other hand, right now 20% of the Israeli population is Arab.

...
You got drafted then if you didn't fight you got shot for treason ..was religion involved to make people fight? answer no?
...
You completely misunderstood.  I meant people are willing to send their own children to die and die themselves VOLUNTARILY for a common myth.  If you don't believe me, ask Palestinian mothers who send their own children to die in suicide attacks and are proud of it. Or ask some Americans why they are sending their 18 yr olds to die in Iraq.  US does not have a draft right now.  Many of these kids are killed or maimed because they bought into the patriotism myth.

religion was never so because we wanted to join another clan to capture bigger animals
RELIGION IS THE BLAME GAME ? And lets face it who gets the blame the most the ones closest to you
Because someone from another area was never going to bother you only someone close?

I disagree.  For example if you look how Muslims come out to defend their religion (a common goal) regardless of the validity of the criticisms.  They come out to support "their brothers and sisters".  Despite of the fact that the leader of their religion was a pedophile as documented in their own scripture.  If you tell me that the same people would give a flying puck about terrorists and rapists if it wasn't for their delusion (aka religion), then I have the Brooklyn bridge for sale.

The religions first unite people then control what they think and do.

If you and few other, smarter apes got together and started thinking: "well guys we cannot chase that Mastodon, we cannot capture it by ourselves, how about we talk to these guys on the other side of the river or a mountain, but how can we convince them it is a good idea?  Think, think....Oh I know, how about we tell them the bright light in the sky told us and we are just relying the message, yeah, that is right, I think I heard the light talking to me too....etc  Ok, we'll tell them that if they don't help us, they will have no light on their side of the river.  They went, the other guys co-operated, the myth was born.  If they did not co-operate, they've made an example out of them, same outcome, the myth was born because some other guys behind the mountains heard about the plague of the light circle. etc., etc."

If Islam was peace, how come it cannot be at peace with Jews and with Israel?

Even if it cannot be at peace with Jews, why the constant drum roll to "kill them all?"

Why the constant advocacy of genicide?

How can that be reconciled with "Islam is peace?"

Is it possible for a Muslim to have these ideas in his mind at the same time, and believe them both -

"Kill the Evil Jews!"
"Islam is Peace!"



Islam is a belief system that historically has been very tolerant because it teaches its' adherents to tolerate and protect people of other faiths.

The record of muslim/jewish relations is very well documented and known. Jews were expelled from Jerusalem in 72 c.e. by the Romans. They were not allowed to re-settle in Jerusalem until Umar (the Prophet's companion and 2nd Caliph) conquered Jerusalem and allowed them back.

Jewish life in the middle ages under muslim rule was one of general tolerance and respect. Every time the Crusaders over took Jerusalem there would blood in the streets and only when the muslims re-took possession did all three faiths live together somewhat harmoniously.

Remember the "re-conquest of Spain"...where did the Jews go for safety? England? Germany? Nope...the Ottoman Empire dispatched their navy to bring jews into Ottoman lands. I had the great pleasure to visit synagogs built by MUSLIM Ottomans in Sarajevo for Jews fleeing persecution from Spain. Maimonides, a great Jewish philosopher and polymath, lived and thrived in Muslim Spain.  

We forget that Christian Europe was were Jews were severely oppressed...muslim never had a history of pogroms. Nazi Germany was the white, protestant, western, and industrial country that committed the horrendous Holocaust.

All this needs to be taken to into account when evaluating the current problem between Jews and Muslims. One has to ask, did the Islamic religion or Islamic beliefs change 180 degrees in the past 70 years? Were the muslims reading a different Quran for 1300 years while they peacefully co-existed with their Jewish cousins?

The current problem between Jews and Muslims rests solely on the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948. Land, resources, and the displacement of the indigenous Arab population is the root cause of the current crises between the two parties. The myth of "they've hatted each other for 100's of years" only holds weight for someone who has not opened or read a history book.




Bah.  Except it's not just Jews, is it?  But on the subject of Jew's it's advocacy of genocide.  Don't talk excuses to me and rationalizaitons.  I am not saying they may not be good for your cause.

Your words are not those of Peace.  Period.  Admit it, and let's move forward.

Thank us British for giving ISRAEL back to the Jews .We British fought and took that land back because it says in the bible that the Israelites where kicked out by Arab muslims
So we give them back there land

And nothing to do with books this is my own thinking
3 main religions JEWS CHRISTIANS MUSLIMS which religion formed first?
So the Israelites come first the Christians second and the Muslims third yes
So how is it Muslims land if the jews where there way before the MUSLIMS

Now remember jews muslims christians where all arabs at one stage .So the arab jews ruled over all religion
so the jews where first to own that land..
Forget about your history because lots of history is a lie
The jews where here before the muslims so they where first to own that land

MUSLIMS NEVER EXISTED WHEN ARAB JEWS FIRST STARTED OUT.. all the 3 main religion comes from arab lands

Now the Babylonian jews ruled most of the middle east way before Islam
So as the jews where there first its there land and if you think about it the whole of the middle east is jew land because it was the first main religion muslims come 3rd along the chain?

Christian arabs chased the arab jews then the muslims are now chasing the arab christians and the arab jews
You see we all know The middle east is ARABS yes
So which religious ARABS where there first THE JEWS BEFORE MUSLIMS so they really own all of ARAB LAND

Now we could go back further The sun god RA they own the arab lands

Do you see the pattern RELIGION its suppresses WHO? and who does it blame WHO?
ANSWER YOUR OWN PEOPLE..

Just think like this if you never heard thunder and you lived without human interaction and for the first time you heard thunder what would you think?
now remember you have banged on walls and never made a loud noise like that.
what would you think..
in the end you would come to some conclusion it must be from something above?
Then comes Chinese whispers as to what that sound could be?..
And here we are in the 21st century still wondering who made that sound?

 us atheist know how that sound come to be just a shame the rest don't
