The question that always puzzled me is this suggestion : Islam is a religion of peace. Which peace? Where do we see any evidence of that? If someone said: “Our peace… When the whole world converts to Islam.” I would say Bullshit!! Have you not seen what Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadi, Ismaili, Wahabi, Alwaity and others have done to each other? And yet they all believe in Islam. There was never peace in Islam.
The last 12 years of Muhammad were full of wars and killing. No sooner Muhammad died from the poison, there were large groups who left Islam. Omar declared war on them and killed a large group of them – officially making it a capital punishment to leave Islam.
And the fighting on who should lead the Umma started. Here is fun competition that demonstrate the peaceful nature of Islam. Beside Abu Bakr (who was lucky to die of natural causes just after two years of becoming a Khalifa), Umar (assassinated), Othman (assassinated) and finally Ali who waited forever for his term had to fight Aysha in the battle of the Camel that resulted in some 2500 deaths of Muslim_on_M0slim killings only to be (assassinated). Excuse me, this is the peace you are looking for???? The peace that later was followed by infighting that sees the grandchildren of the prophet and Sahabah decapitated, assassinated, and poisoned one by one?
Now let us forget all this. Instead blame the CIA, western intelligence, and zionist for terrorism, fundamentalism, and all the violence in Islam. Repeat after me “Islam is a religion of peace”. Hurraaayy, just like that, all the violence we see, is not our problem anymore. 😎
