Guest feraline Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 The religion of islam is peaceful. The goals of it are peaceful. Yes there is a lot of violent things written in the Qur'an but if you read the Bible, especially the OT, you'll find many descriptions of violence as well as gods support for them. There are people of all religions who are not peaceful and who don't care about others. They allow their beliefs to blind them and make them feel superior, to the point where they think they need to take drastic action for god. Some muslims have done this recently. They believe their views so strongly that they will die for them. However the real religion is not responsible, nor is it when people blow up abortion clinics or beat up homosexuals.

They believed that dying the martyers death would put them in paradise. Christians do this on a lesser scale by blowing up abortion clincs, killing Athiests, and killing doctors. The only difference I see between Christianity and Islam is that Christians serve the one true God. I have knowen a few Muslims in my day and they were peaceful people. False teaching is what causes the most death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating your wife is a last option, but it still is allowable to beat your wife. I wouldn't call that peaceful either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teri Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 You know it's quite offensive when christians compare the Bible to the Koran. The Bible does have violence in it, but it does not tell us to go out and kill anyone who does not agree with our religious views. Before you start to compare them you should read them both. The Koran starts out non-violent and on the way through something happens, it becomes very violent and then goes on to instruct those who follow it to acts of violence against anyone who does not follow their way of life. You have to consider the entire thing. The Bible does have violence in it mainly because God is dealing with man who has a sinful nature. But the Bible does completely the opposite of the Koran which is instead of heating up in a rage it brings on Jesus who instructs that the highest order of things is love of God, and our felllow man even if he is our enemy. They are complete opposites in style and writ and in no way can be compared except to say one is dark and one is light. This is such a huge thing because if christians cannot acknowledge there is something wrong with that belief system than we are in effect saying they don't need us, they are not in need of Christ. As far as those who are taking it upon themselves to kill others in the name of Christ are not obviously following Christ. That only gets a big Duh! They are actually showing a great lack of faith by taking matters into their own hands and using God to justify it. Bad move on their part, but certainly not an example of what all christians are. The bottom line is though that it really doesn't matter if Islam is a peaceful religion or not. The Koran is very specific about not believing in Christ as the Son of God, as the Messiah. So therefore how they do or don't conduct themselves in this physical realm is redundant because they do not believe in the Christ and therefore are wrong regardless of how they act. In Yeshua's love Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teh Wiccan Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Islam is a peaceful Religion. The violent acts in the Quran terrorist groups use to justify their actions are used out of context. There are extremist groups in nearly every religion... The extremists are the people making those two holes in the ground, NOT your average follower that religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
