Islam, is it a religion of peace or war?

[Caculator]

It's a political cult masquerading as a Religion.

If that is the case, then evangelical Christianity has become the same thing. Like those evangelicals, some Muslims have chosen to drag their faith into politics. I know several Muslims from all over the world and none of them act or believe like the extremists in their religion.

Many Muslims hate the US because we are Israel's primary supporter.

But why do they hate Israel so much? It's an overly simplified question with a very complex answer but there isn't much more that Israel can do. When they do make concessions it is just thrown back at them. Hezbollah uses it's money to support terrorism to fight the good fight instead of helping it's people. Then Israel responds and turns hard line. The cycle continues ad nauseum.

Are we talking about Muslims or the Southern Baptist Convention.

Yes they're so comparable.

Catholics

Only one side kills people for not believing the way they do. Only a moron would compare Islam to any other faith

 

[BigO95]

Yes, most Muslims are peaceful. That isn't the issue though, the issue is a significant portion of their religion are super militant. More so than any other religion out there, the question remains why?

I don't have the answer, just left with the question.

Because of the teachings of the Quran. They are just fundamental Muslims that are the jihadist.

They kinda are.

If SBs were raised from birth with their parents and leaders preaching that they are being oppressed, glorifying suicide as a means to salvation and intentionally kept ignorant/impoverished by the same leadership, it's not a stretch to think many SBs would act the same.

Muslims did not want a nation of Israel in the Levant. Some of them also hate Jews as much as Christians.

Both sides. Don't forget Christian anti-abortionists who kill doctors.

Nope not even close, keep trying. Your argument is getting weaker

Boy, there have been a bunch of those for sure. Prisons are overflowing with abortion doctor killers.

Only a far leftist like him would compare Islam to Christianity and in another thread say illegals here committing murder and rape is fine because some citizens commit those same crimes

You don't discern very well, do you?

Weaponizing scripture is weaponizing scripture no matter the book. I ought to know. I'm a Southern Baptist deacon.

How is it weaker? I offered true rebuttal to your asinine declaration that Christians don't kill others because they believe differently. Some wack job Christians kill abortion doctors. Besides, history is rife with examples. Every heard of the Inquisition? The 100 Years War? English Revolution? Using Christianity to support slavery, pograms, forced conversions, mass killing of Jews, etc.

how many abortion doctors get killed per year? last 5 years? last 10 years? Now tell me how those compare to those you defend so much who practice Islam

Comparing the two isn't even in the same universe.

Go read my post. I was editing it while you wrote your response.

I am talking about now, recent history. Why do you all on the left feel the need to go back 100s of years? Let's talk modern times, deal?

so like 25 people EVER?

People are flawed sinners no matter the religion, the difference is MOHAMMED himself was a slaver, pedophile, murdering rapist and encouraged his followers to do the same

I sure remember all those. Seems like only yesterday.

Probably more like 5.

Edit: Actually, there have been 4 abortion doctors killed by 4 different killers. A total of 11 people overall who were at the scenes have been killed. 11 people is just a good weekend of killing in the hood in Chicago.
