So many people can´t be wrong, can they?

Yes they can.

Did you take my rhetorical question for real? ;-)
Btw, you could have taken it both ways: so many islamists on the picture OR so many FReepers on the discussion threads.

"Islam, a religion of peace?"

Well if so, there must be all of 10 people in the world that practice it. Or so it seems with all the conniving.

Thanks for looking- the only people who believe that "peace" nonsense are shills or the willfully ignorant.

The evidence stands before the world for all those who have eyes to see.

The idea that Islam is a religion of peace is absurd.

First, religions may teach peace (that is, living in harmony with one's neighbors and respecting their religious views) but only people can be peaceful.

Second, one must define "peace."
If one means that Islam imparts to believers a settled and all-inclusive view of about life, then Islam is a religion of peace.
Islam does give its believers a sense of internal peace.

However, if one means that Islam is a religion that teaches pacifism, then peace is not a tenent of that faith.
Islam does not treach one to turn the other cheek, as did Christ.
Islam was spread by the conquest, and while tolerance was extended from time-to-time to Christians and Jews, it was never extended to pagans.
Even Christians and Jews were "tolerated" only on the condition that the paid a special tax and acknowledged the political supremecy of Islam.
