If you truly believe that then you're both ignorant and completely unaware of what's going on around the globe!
It can be, yes. You know when it can be "peaceful?"
When everyone is a muslim! Does that tickle you?
Otherwise it can't be and isn't! The Quran calls for violence, death, and oppression of those who are not muslim in varying circumstances.
Look, this really isn't an argument between me and you! It's an argument between yourself and reality. Go read the Quran. I did after 9/11. It won't take you long. A few days to get the jist. Much of the violent stuff is amongst the first 10 suras.
Read 262. It's more about what many Muslims do with their religion than what their religion is. And war is not necessary from the Quranic view.
Go read the Quran. I did after 9/11.
I did after 3/1991 in the Gulf War and have been reading other stuff since. I've also met and talked with Muslims in four different countries, two of them Muslim-controlled. You don't realize that the average Muslim just wants to live his life happily, serving his god, just as a Christian does. There are exceptions: those living in the slums sucking up hate speech; those too stupid to think for themselves listening to hateful leaders, and those leaders themselves. Those also happen to be the only ones you see on the news.
I have no problem offing all those people. Even I as a governmental fiscally-conservative person would find the cost of the bullets to be justified.
