Ten Obvious Reasons Why
Islam is Not a Religion of Peace

 
#1
   
18,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last ten years.  (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so).

#2
   
Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion.  This included women.

Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.

Indeed.

However, as I am wont to observe whenever the "religion of peace" characterization of Islam is discussed, whether by the devious who try to push it, the deluded who believe it, or those who take the notion to bits as the linked article does, there is a more subtle and insidious problem with the relationship between Islam and peace:

In Semitic languages like Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew, the root of a word is the sequence of consonants:  Islam (submission) and salam (peace) have the same sequence of consonants, and thus in the Arabic-speaking mind are inextricably linked.  A Muslim can in good faith assert that "Islam is a religion of peace" because the Islamic conception of peace is defective:  Islam knows no negotiated peace treaties with non-Muslims, only "Hudnas", ceasefires that Muslims are free, even obligated, to abrogate when it is to their strategic advantage.  Islam has no analogue of the "peace which passes all understanding" Christ promised his followers.  In both spiritual and worldly affairs, the only peace Islam knows and the peace it promises is the peace between conqueror and conquered disarmed subjects, between master and submissive slave.

IOW, Islam is the Peace of the Dead.

Another way to put it:

Know islam - no peace.
NO islam - know peace.
