Why is Islam called the "religion of peace?"
Dan Miller's Blog ^ | July 6, 2013 | Dan Miller

Posted on 07/06/2013 1:43:02 PM PDT by DanMiller

Because of collective ignorance, stupidity and fantasy.

Some may have read about the recent "honor killings" of two young girls in Pakistan. They had inflicted a great stain upon the honor of their family by dancing happily in the rain. Here is a video presented yesterday at PJ Media's Trifecta.

To refer to the perpetrators of such crimes as subhuman is to dishonor apes and rattlesnakes. However, that seems to be a far from universal view, even in the United States and Formerly Great Britain.

Pat Condell recently had this to say about the religion of peace:

Anjem Choydary is a "peace loving" Islamist who

is urging his followers [in England] to sign up as recruits to the newly-launched Islamic Emergency Defence — which vows to create a network of “task forces” to redress wrongs and mete out instant justice.

He also seems to enjoy converting young Brits to Islam. He had this to say in 2011:

Islam also continues to bring the beauties of true peace to Nigeria, where

Islamic militants attacked a boarding school before dawn Saturday, dousing a dormitory in fuel and lighting it ablaze as students slept, survivors said. At least 30 people were killed in the deadliest attack yet on schools in Nigeria’s embattled northeast.

Authorities blamed the violence on Boko Haram, a radical group whose name means “Western education is sacrilege.” The militants have been behind a series of recent attacks on schools in the region, including one in which gunmen opened fire on children taking exams in a classroom.

. . . .

Islamic militants from Boko Haram and breakaway groups have killed more than 1,600 civilians in suicide bombings and other attacks since 2010, according to an Associated Press count.

Here is another interesting video from 2011 by Andrew Klavan. Satire? Probably, but it makes more and more sense as we enter mid-2013.

Finally, here is a new video at Latma TV about the Obama-Kerry "peace process." Unfortunately, the subtitles are often difficult to read.

The Peace process is, of course, a stroke of genius for those who worship at the feet of our historic President Osama Obama the Humble, always the brightest person in any room he honors with his presence.

Perhaps the Islamists who want only peace, happiness and tranquility for everyone would like to ride President Obama's favorite unicorn. It would be only fitting and proper to give them that opportunity. They might laugh at President Obama, kill his unicorn and enjoy eating its heart, but no matter. Obama has many more unicorns and Islamists are already laughing behind our backs as they stuff our money in their pockets and bank accounts. While slim, the chances of success are at least as great as for His efforts finally to redeem His Nobel Peace Prize from the ashes of infamy uncontrollable laughter.

However, none of this can be our problem, so let's just continue calling our peace-loving allies whatever pleases them while we fund their noble humanitarian efforts to bring peace in our time. At least that's probably the view of my esteemed occasional guest author, Senator Ima Librul from the great state of Confusion Utopia, a great fan of Our Dear Leader.

Our Dear Leaders King Obama the Humble et al seem to be visualizing whirled peas rather than looking for solutions.

Because the media and the government wants us to BELIEVE what they tell us and to IGNORE our own observations.

Because of a poor translation of Submission to Peace.

Linguists with political agendas.

Just like Please does NOT mean Por Favor. Peace in Islam is NOT Peace in English.

“Why is Islam called the “religion of peace?”

Because it is enemy propaganda. A brief study of history reveals they are nothing of the sort.

"religion of peace"

It's called that because if you don't call it that, they'll kill you.

Reminds me of a line on an old sitcom: "If there's no problem, why is everybody saying 'no problem'?

I was talking to someone more liberal about Ft. Hood. She is not convinced that Islam is inspiring terrorism. Regarding Ft. Hood specifically, I told her that the shooter shouted “Allah Ahkbar” (sp?) but she didn’t think that was evidence that he shot up the place due to radical Islamic thinking.

Her conclusion is that just because so many terrorists are Muslim, that it doesn’t mean that all Muslims are terrorists. True, that not all Muslims are terrorists. But she refuses to consider that anyone is inspired by Islam.

On the other hand, this same person blames a form of radical Christianity for killings of abortion doctors.

On the one hand, she is ok with indicting Christianity for attacks against abortion providers, but not ok with indicting Islam with terror done in the name of Islam, freely admitted to by those who carry out such acts. Go figure.

I gotta say that he was the FIRST person I EVER remember saying that. I’m not saying that nobody else did before him, but he is the first I remember.

Why is 0bama called the “post racial president?”

"Go figure."

The woman you describe is actually very typical among liberals. Their sense of being tolerant towards minorities makes it impossible for them to see the plain facts about Islamic terrorism, yet their disdain for Christianity makes them equate one or two abortionist-murderers with the entirety of Christianity.

I have a politically-incorrect saying: "Everybody needs a n*gger," someone to feel superior to, and that includes liberals. Their n*ggers are Christians and conservatives and Republicans. Earlier today someone posted a piece from Daily Kos in which the author claimed that conservatives were not human, and he seemed to mean it literally. Remember how the libs said Palin wasn't a woman and Clarence Thomas wasn't black? A basic denial of their humanity.

Same reason we have an “Affordable Health Care Act”.

Continued by George W. Bush (voted in as the lessor of two evils)

"I blame George W. Bush."

Notice how much good it did him? Muslims STILL reviled him, just as libs reviled him despite his civility and (public, at least) respect for those who disagreed with his policies.

Because someone had a sense of humor.
