there are no peaceful religions.  Religions are the cause of nearly every war... ever.

[hm_murdock]

Islam is hardly peaceful.

Christianity is hardly peaceful.

Judaism is a little more peaceful then them, but still, hardly peaceful.

See what Daniel Pipes says.

I briefly skimmed through those sites. Sorry, but this is utter rubbish. I won't go into details, unless you want me to, but many of these sites present a bunch of claims without supporting them with actual or reliable facts, or even citations from the Qu'ran.

The ones who can give you the passages from the Quran are here.

Look what this cleric says about the Quran.

 

quote:
During the trial el-Faisal argued that his words were taken from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, and that he had been misrepresented.

Mark Gabriel gives you the exact passages from the Quran.  Thanks for reminding me.


Here's some pages from Mark Gabriel's book 'Islam & Terrorism' in pdf format. You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free if you don't have it already.

The book was written by a former professor (Mark A. Gabriel a former Muslim) of Islamic history at Al-Azher University in Cairo, Egypt. He was imprisoned for arguing peace vs. terrorism as discussed in the Koran. When he was released from prison a pharmacist later gave him a bible which he read which led to him converting to Christianity. His father tried to shoot him to death when he discovered his son converted to Christianity. Mark Gabriel went on the run, immigrated to the west and wrote this book.

A couple of news sources tell the same story.  They are coming to Canada, too.

Islam is a religion. It like many others has been perverted and used as a tool by those who seek power.

Great_Satan, if your point is that there are a lot of nutcase muslims in the world, there is no question.  That doesn't mean the religion is bad.  Christianity has been horribly perverted times through history:

1)  the crusades
2)  the inquisition
3)  the KKK (yeah them's all God fearing boys)

Personally, I like the crusades.  Look at the sacking of Constantinople:  christian terrorism on a massive scale against a christian city!

Don't judge a religion or a people based on a few nutcases and power hungry manipulators.

Like Claremont wrote
"God Loves, man kills."

Even Buddhism has had its share of bloodshed. I don

There is nothing really wrong with religion (well other than it's a crock of shit), it's the fundaMENTALists that are the problem.
