The Real Islam

[SavedOnebyGrace]

“Abducting Women” and “Destroying Churches” is “Real Islam”—Iraqi Ayatollah

This is the title of an article on the Human Events news website.  The author, Raymond Ibrahim, expresses himself better than I can paraphrase.  So I'll turn over this topic to him and maybe a slightly larger audience can be reached.

The Real Islam

There is no peaceful co-existence with people of this mindset.  We are fools if we think we can coexist.

[*Deidre*]

The majority of Muslims around the world are peaceful. Islam isn't the cause of all we see happening and unfolding in the middle east and elsewhere, if it were, then the majority wouldn't be peaceful.

Sorry, I have to disagree.  Read the Qu'ran.  If a 'muslim' is peaceful, he/she is a muslim in name only.  Islam is spread by the sword and those who will not convert are to be killed.  Read it for yourself instead of depending on what you've heard.  If you can, please list any OTHER causes of strife and war in the M.E.

Yeah, you need to go live in a Muslim country where women are executed by stoning or beheading for being raped, where there is no freedom of speech, where Muslims who convert to Christianity are stoned to death.  

The notion that the majority of Muslims are peaceful is nothing but the same liberal clap-trap we have been fed for years after 9/11.   Many "peaceful" Muslims run "charities that raise money to fund terrorist cells.  Those are not "peaceful" Muslims.

Islam is based on total world domination.  Look at the litany of nations that were once non-Muslim but are not under Muslim domination.  Muslim rule is brutal and one wrong step, one transgression can kill you.  

People who say Muslims are "peaceful" have no concept of life in a Muslim country, nor the theology of Islam.

I have read it. And I have Muslim friends who are loving, etc. There are harsh parts of the OT, as well. Muslims interpret the Qur'an in different ways. Not all Christians interpret the Bible the same way. Many claim that there are parts of it written for a different time period. People are also fighting over money, land and oil...it's not all religion based.

I'm not a liberal, and if you feel this way, you are entitled to feel this way. But, to claim that all Muslims are violent terrorists, is pretty unfair. And rather cynical. 

I wouldn't want to live in a country where Sharia Law rules, no way. But, I just don't agree with what you're saying, as a blanket statement about all/most Muslims.

Not all Muslims are terrorists but that doesn't mean that the majority of them are "peaceful,"  either.   It is not unfair at all given the fact that there is no Muslim outcry from the "majority" when the minority commit terrorist attacks.   It's funny how deafening the silence is.   Women are regularly beaten and murdered in Muslim countries, Christians are heavily persecuted in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the gender apartheid against women in Muslim countries is rampant and Muslim countries have some of the worst human rights records in the world, but everyone defends them like they are protected species or something.

If Muslims are peaceful, why would you not want to live under Sharia??

Wow. Thats just so misleading.

so you know for a fact that the majority of Muslims are not peaceful?

I know muslims killed by other muslims. I know iraqi Christians who are under threat from muslims. I know muslims who lived in war torn areas, who lived through wars, and its not war with Christians. I know muslims who are raising their kids to be human shields for terrorists. I know Christians in muslim majority countries who fear for their lives and have to watch themselves every moment for fear of being attacked because of anything they say or do. I know them first hand. Not stories Ive been told but real people who are known to me. Ive heard the hate, the desire to kill, the desire to take over from muslims directly. Even the most seemingly peaceful moderate muslim supports terrorism. They are commanded to be their imans. And they support the "charities" that fund terrorism.
