I don't believe any religion can claim to be completely peaceful

I actually mean other: religion is a social construct, a tool. As Christianity went through its dark ages, Islam too is going through theirs (albeit slower due to perpetual interference from the more powerful countries). I'm now going to just take this opportunity to voice my opinion on why it is the way it is, and what we should do:

Medieval England was a place of religious upheaval with the start of Henry VIII creating his own church and proceeded to burn tens of thousands (though it is not known for sure) if they clung to Catholicism. Similar Christian based events occurred throughout the middle ages. However, not all Christians were bad, they were simply scared of those in power. Same goes with Muslims today. They should not all be treated like scum because of the extremists' actions, and in many cases, their fear of being tortured and killed for standing up to such.

Imagine if a more powerful country had invaded England at the time of Henry VIII's reign and tried to force some kind of more forward thinking system on them...they would revolt violently. Also imagine if Medieval England had had access to the weapons we do now...I'm sure the death count would have been higher. Social change has to happen within the country, invasion based change is much more difficult and in m...

I say we leave the middle east alone, let them figure it out. It is terrible what many people have and will go through, but it is obvious that our intervention is only harmful. I think it would be best to instead use spies to infiltrate and prevent terrorism on our own soil.

It is a religion based on war and has nothing to do with peace.

Some of its most noteworthy practitioners are not very peaceful. I know that there are many peaceful Muslims, though. Just each man according to his deeds.

Why I used the word Bankers, WW3 will be on currency (Dollar & BRACS War), Bankers offers curency but Islam offers Money so they should be against islam and they should support the extremism, please visit below link and I am sure you will understand the truth, it is the website made by Christian not by muslim so dont hesitate :)

((http://hiddensecretsofmoney...

all the religions(Islam, christianity, judaism) are from the same source, the problem is that we use religion as a tool.

Islam's founding prophet Muhammed practiced and taught war, beheadings, forced conversion and subjugation of infidels (jihad). Literate, informed Islamists wage war against all non-Muslims consistent with Muhammeds practice and teachings.

Christ taught peace and conversion of the spirit and taught all others to do the same. Literate, informed Christians do NOT wage war against other religions consistent with Christ's teachings.

Christianity is inherently peaceful. Islam is an entirely different animal than Christianity and violent by nature.

Ignorance of the facts and political correctness will get us killed unless people figure this out.
