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

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.

NO, THEY AREN’T.
After they are done killing every body else in the neighborhood they start killing each other.

You got it.
When Islam RULES the world, then there will be ‘Peace.’

No need to use the sword in the west to convert.
Islamists are infiltrating everything, from town to U.S. adminisrations, text books, etc.

In the 1990’s, a spokesman said Islam is not here in the U.S. to be equal to other faiths, but to dominate, and the Qu’ran will be the only Holy Book.’

We need to remember that Islam is a political ideology with a religious component.

If the muslims ever do succeed in killing off us infidels (peacefully, of course), they’ll start peacefully killing other muslims who are not part of their particular sect.

They have been doing that for quite some time. In that, only, I wish them success.

PS
I’ve learned recently to take people at their word.
If/when someone threatens something, to believe them.
To NOT do so could be at our/my peril.

It should have been more along the lines of...

"Today, Baghdad, Damascus, Mecca, Riyadh, Tehran and Tripoli are glass."

I heard an Iman answer this question. The phrase "Islam is peace" is not defining Islam. It is defining PEACE.

To say 'Islam is peace' is to say 'the result of implementing Islamic law is peace'. To this, they add the phrase, 'no justice, no peace'. According to the Iman, without Sharia law, there can be no peace.

I believe George W Bush introduced this “Religion of Peace” phrase right after 9-11 to deter “retaliation” by us ignorant peasants

as if Christians were going into beheading mode ....

Actually, the real reason is that Muslims designate Islam as the “religion of peace”. In doing this they are not lying in the sense of asserting something they know to be untrue. The problem is that the Islamic conception of peace is severely flawed and not even approximately coextensive with the Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or modern secularist conception of peace (all of which are approximately coextensive).

In Semitic languages, the consonants of a word are its root. Thus Islam = submission and Salam = peace share the root slm and are thus conceptually related to an Arabic speaker, and this relation becomes almost an identification in Islamic thought. The only peace Islam knows is the peace of submission, the peace between master and slave, between conqueror and conquered. Peace treaties as understood by the rest of the world are unknown in Islamic law: they are (theoretically) unnecessary between Muslims and forbidden between Muslims and non-Muslims — the best approximation permitted under Sharia being a “hudna” (pause or ceasefire) of at most ten years duration, which Muslims may breach at any time.

So, if one accepts the twisted Mohammedan misconception of peace as the true understanding of peace, Islam is, indeed the religion of peace. If one has a nobler conception of peace, the whole notion is rubbish.

It's called the ROP because ragheads can't handle being called sons of whore pigs who live in the stone age and would serve humanity if they would simply kill their brats, wives and themselves. Because that's what they are.

So, they call them the "religion of peace."

Thank you very much for the information. I was not aware of those differences.

All I know about them is what I saw in the news growing up: bombings and hijackings, and the occasional big event, like with the Olympics. Death, violence, terror and more death.

Then I had to read Satanic Verses for a class and, given my exposure over the years, thought Rushdie had the title right.

What I saw on TV was still bombings, though with more creativity and greater target selection including the WTC, and, of course, hijackings.

Then, I learned about hijackings and flying the planes into buildings and beheadings.

Then, I learned about mass shootings of children and more of the usual.

I've learned that none of the book they follow was from God, but an arch-angel? I confess, I really don't know.

However, I've read the Bible and other things and have been doing a lot of studying for a project I'm involved in and I have yet to find anything that backs up what I see claimed other than what I grew up seeing.

Maybe I will someday, but nothing yet other than early history and people in common.

Beyond that, they appear to have a different purpose or use by the Divine, but I'm really just getting started in my research.

What I've read, though, are the prophecies in the Bible leading up to and including the end times, concluding with Revelation.

That team looks like they're the big losers in the end, plus having a couple of really bad shutout games before getting creamed in the last game of the series.

What is confusing to me are the individuals and how God views those devoted, but who reject the violence, terror and death they have always been known for all my life.

We'll just have to wait and see...or, at lest they will.

The headline poses a very interesting and difficult question that is equally difficult, as well as distasteful, to answer.

First we have to accept the premise that practically all of America’s politicians, bureaucrats, judges, police and even down to dogcatcher level is patently cowardly and stupid.

They’re so stupid in fact that they would rather crawl under a table with their sucky blankets and pacifiers than to really confront the problem that an America full of Muslims presents. They, including the present mystery meat man occupying the White Hut as well as his predecessors, want to play nice with our domestic and foreign Islamists. The current occupant is a closet Muslim as well as a closet weirdo. Being a weirdo is a prerequisite to being a true follower of the pedophilic prophet.

Political correctness comes into play, where idiots call a Muslim an adherent of the Religion of Peace and a slobbering homosexual a person of the gay persuasion. Both categories of animal are anathema to a well ordered and polite society.
