    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    ---------------------------- Hey thanks for the feedback. Very true, many questions that I did not hand over to the Pastor as they seemed meant to embarrass rather than to enquire.

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    ---------------- The problem is not for Muslims to march on the streets and condemn the lunatics, because they have done and they do that all the time in New York, Chicago, London, etc.. They write to newspapers and speak on TV etc.. etc.. and it will really never be enough. As for those who...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    --------------- No Cup of tea.. I don't. I said "generally" in the sense that for religious followers, it gives them further conviction of their own faith that others be "wrong". This does not mean each and every person. Islam teaches that it is the truth from God. y necessity, other faiths are...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    I see that followers of a religion generally want to see other religions in one of two ways: first for some they want to see it extreme, horrible, violent, horrific, and they would look for ways and people to demonstrate that and search for texts in that "other" religion that seem to justify...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    -------------- People of Islam in general do not believe that and furthermore The punishment for adultery is clearly stated in the Quran and it requires 4 eye witnesses to the very act. Punishment is equal for both man and woman. The Hadith that stipulates stoning is considered "Hadith Aahad"...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    ------------------ So I did write a reply but I got a note saying that a moderator will determine if this will be posted..!! Does anyone know why? maybe the length of it? My reply basically said that the vast overwhelming majority of the 1.5 Billion Muslims are peaceful and want to live in...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    --------------------------------- Well Devil's Advocate.. thanks for engaging me. I do agree that the actions of the followers of a faith.. any faith, should reflect on the faith and its teachings.. notwithstanding cultural intrusion overtime.. but that is exactly my point.. if there are 1.4...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    A few Muslims are not peaceful.. but that is in spite of Islam and its teachings..

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    --------------- Dear Mystic.. You do not read much do you? Just about every piece of information you stated is wrong and unsubstantiated.. quite the opposite is true. I will give you an example.. how can you "compel" a person to believe that "Let there be no compulsion in religion"...

    Is Islam actually peaceful?

    Agree totally. But we must recognize that there will always be those who are so misguided that they will violate a message/cause/purpose sadly in its very own name. That is not just limited to Islam or Muslims, it applies just about everywhere else. I always say that Islam and its teachings is...
