Is islam a religion of peace?

Islam - the submission of one's will to god (allah)

It's the end of the first decade of the 21st century and while Christianity is on the decline, another abrahamic religion has taken it's place. The Islamic faith draws people into it's doctrine by the thousands. From a faith that was once practiced by certain ethnic groups, it is now followed by people from all races and social backgrounds. While pre-christian Europe becomes increasingly secular, it has also became the arena of a new form of psychological battle field. Some westerner see it is merely another belief system that is yet to adapt to the western hemisphere, yet others see it is a vicious politically motivated doctrine who's masterminds seeks to undermine the principles of human rights and hard gained civil liberties. From freedom of expression to accusations of islamophobia and intolerance to secular principles versus uncompromising faith-based principles. As the number of individuals being prosecuted for critizing Islam rises and the fundumentalist wings gain momentum, many westerners are now beginning to wonder whether the very definition of submission has gone too far...

Your characterization of those who feel Islam is no better or worse at it's core than any other ridiculous superstition, and as such should be granted all the rights of any religion gauranteed in the Constitution, is somehow "submission" -

frankly is ridiculous.

Taking a tribal view of religion on either side inevitably leads to violence eventually because the human psyche is entirely too caught up in these various theories of magical enternal life.

Because of this, and because many of the original immigrants to the US were escaping this kind of tribal idea of religion which we are now seeing on the Right in Western countries, and too a far greater extreme in these Islamic countries that produce terrorists because of it,

they created a separation of Church and State, and a guarantee of religious freedom within the bounds of the agreed upon law.

The Islamic faith does not inherently lead to violence within the context of a State with both religious freedom and a separation of Church and State any more than Christianity, Judism, Catholisism, or any other silly superstition.

Individual cases of violence of terrorism will always exist. It exists in Christianity now with the God Hates Fags idiots. If the God Hates Fags people lived in a third world country, they would be just as likely to fly planes into buildings as the extreme Muslims on the other side.

The problem is not and never has been, as the founders of this country understood and which the Right is trying desperately to forget, any one religion in and of itself.

The problem with any religion is when it is allowed power over the lives of individuals beyond what those individuals freely choose, and naturally as is the case with all religion, whithout the checks and balances provided by government based on law and not ideology.

Creating a false sense of "us vs them" in terms of religion itself, instead of in terms of the individuals guilty of a specific crime, only serves to fuel this tribalism. It turns in this instance many of the "Christians" into the uncompromising idealogues they regularly (through vessels like Fox and other NewCorp affiliates) accuse all Muslims of being.

And even now, Christians are just as guilty of death on a mass scale as Muslims, it's just not covered as such and not as spectacular with bombs and whatnot. But the Christian-driven government stance of discouraging condoms in Africa as a means of stopping AIDS because an invisible daddy in the sky said safe sex is a sin, I almost gaurantee has indirectly lead to the death of far more humans than any airplanes Muslim terrorists happened to have hijacked.

Religion by its very nature is submission. One is submitting to an uncompromising ideology that all too often has neither the individual's or humanity as a whole's best interest at heart.

If its name is submission I must say, at the very least of all the silly religions out there, this one advertises itself honestly.

At any rate you phrased submission as if "Western" culture were "submitting", as if "Western" culture does not and has not always included those of Islamic origin. You did not phrase it in the context of them submitting to their own religion. Naturally they submit. I would argue that for any who submit an ounce to any religion, "submission has gone too far."

But unlike the hypocritical Christian masses, I am not so naive to think I can force my personal view about this mess of unfounded belief on another. I simply argue my point. You, on the other hand, and many Christians now seem to be taking a stance this particular religion is somehow fundamentally at it's core different. It is not I assure you, as a completely unbiased outside observer of the whole religion thing, they are all quite the same.

A lot of people view a religion as a means to create war and deprive others of what they want to believe in but really thats what people make of it and do with it belief in its self is a means of feeling secure in knowing death isn't it amongst other things, to think that religion is an excuse for war is stupid in that most religions consider murder a mortal sin or what they consider a "bad thing". Islam on the view as it being a religion of Peace is debatable to a point but it all comes down to what a person does and people who fight in that name are not really fighting for any god but for them selves as such creating mass blood shed which i though Islam said was a "bad thing" and I'm a not wrong in saying Christians did it and so did a few other religions and we don't view that as wrong well at least most don't so why view this one as a violent religion.

I am so tired of all the rhetoric that attempts to use religion as some kind of cheap explanation that allows the labeling of such large groups of people enemy.

Are humans creatures of peace?

I agree with Plato in that only the dead will see the end of war. Life entails constant assault obvious or not.

To focus on Islam is to divert from addressing the root problem of violence. The ironic thing I've noticed is that those who regularly condemn group X for being violent, never seem to hesitate to admit their confidence that violence is very often often an appropriate action.

I think if we can get beyond labeling people as enemies that would be for us (people in general ,regardless of labeled group affiliation) a historically unprecedented healthy advancement.

Islam is not a religion in cIslam is not just a religion in the Christian sense of the word, it’s a system of self governance. It holds each individual responsible for their own actions. There is no “The Mosque” as there is in Christianity the centralized institution “The Church”

Jews believe themselves to be Gods chosen race, Christians believe themselves to be Gods children and Muslims consider themselves to be Gods slaves. 95% of the populace before 9/11 could not even care less that Muslims have been living alongside them without a complaint for years. Now that the Western economic system has collapsed, as it did during the crusades, Muslims countries have become the place to pillage for resources and the means to extract them has also decreased. Religion is providing the cover story as it did back then.

Nothing said or “revealed” about Islam has any basis in fact and most has been dismissed or disproved but the mob mentality means people don’t listen to answers and are supportive of what they see as action against an enemy out of sight. The democratic system is destroying it’s own civil rights and liberties just as it did during Nazi Germany were the Jews where blamed for everything and all rights were taken away from the populace “to tighten security.” Not a single measure today is aimed at Muslims only but the populace as a whole, it’s important to remember that, so you can’t blame religion for that.

As for the rest. People don’t like being insulted and when you’ve just had a drone missile hit your village and kill your whole family because someone was allegedly fighting for the wrong team your not going to be happy are you? It’s this fight fire with fire attitude that is causing a lot of the friction not religion. During my visit there a lot of the people were taking up arms not because of religion but for lost friends and family and the belief that “if they thought I was a terrorist before their actions have just made me one now”.

Islam always was and will be a system. There is no word for holy war in Islam the closest is Jung ul muqada which you will not find in any scriptures or religious text. The concept of total war is alien in Islam as it’s a missionary religion and the only one not spread by the sword. In the Quran it says categorically “La Iqrah fid-Deen” (There is no compulsion in religion) (Surah Al-Baqara, Ayat 256) So any talk of a secret take over or psychological warfare is down to reading too much Dan Brown and secret societies novels.

It's actually not so simple. Sectarian violence can be masqueraded as politics but in the case with Islam we see that violent factions are springing up all over Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia which all are joined by their commitment to bring sharia into their home countries through violent means. These factions will pay poor families for their male children and send them to schools of indoctrination, where they are presented with an extremely violent and one-sided representation of the west, and are taught that since we target civilians, terrorists may legitimately target them as well.

There seems to be two classes of terrorists. The freedom fighters and the suicide bombers. The first may arise out of genuine disgust with the current political and social conditions. We create a lot of these merely by supporting Israel while it kills many civilians in Palestine. Not to mention the leaks of Abu Ghraib's torture, and that we turn a blind eye to torture in Iraq. However the other kind is different because it arises from true indoctrination into Islamic Jihad and martyrdom. This is why even if we fix our reputation and offer peace with these countries, we can only hope to eliminate the freedom fighters; the suicide bombers will remain because these terror cells are so easy to start, have no central leadership, and are born from an impossible ambition: worldwide Islamic states and the slaying of the Infidel.

Sura 8

And their worship at the (holy) House is naught but whistling and hand-clapping. Therefore (it is said unto them): Taste of the doom because ye disbelieve. (35) Lo! those who disbelieve spend their wealth in order that they may debar (men) from the way of Allah. They will spend it, then it will become an anguish for them, then they will be conquered. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto hell, (36) That Allah may separate the wicked from the good, The wicked will He place piece upon piece, and heap them all together, and consign them unto hell. Such verily are the losers. (37) Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning). (38) And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do. (39)

Sura 9

Freedom from obligation (is proclaimed) from Allah and His messenger toward those of the idolaters with whom ye made a treaty. (1) Travel freely in the land four months, and know that ye cannot escape Allah and that Allah will confound the disbelievers (in His guidance). (2) And a proclamation from Allah and His messenger to all men on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free from obligation to the idolaters, and (so is) His messenger. So, if ye repent, it will be better for you; but if ye are averse, then know that ye cannot escape Allah. Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve, (3) Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. (As for these), fulfil their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him). (4) Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (5)

I realize you wrote this argument 149 days ago, however i must concur with the argument you're making due the rational premises you have based it on. Quite frankly your argument is not as biased as you or anyone might think it is. You have highlighted as many, if not all, of the crucial factors.

It is quite obvious that not many of the writers who believe Islam is a religion of VIOLENCE, really know nothing about Islam.

Anyone who has enough knowledge about Islam would know that the base of Islam is based on peace, love and peace. How can a religion be based on violence, think of it how meaningless is that ?

There are so many men of peace who are Muslim and we can not judge Islam as a religion of violence because of the Muslim people who have caused bad things.

Many people from different religions have caused violence and war if we take a quick look at human history.

Can we judge a religion by the bad people who believe in it? That is simply meaningless.

though yes in part many of religions tell you to commit many distasteful deeds it is the stride for peace. Christianity may be the largest followed belief in America. but u if you look at the foundation of both Islam and Christianity they have the same laws. (i.e they both agree that Christ was a messenger form god as was Abraham,moses, and Noah). In the bible it says it was wrong to drink to the point of blacking out well Islam doesn't have the problem because they decided never to drink.( one social vice taken out of the picture.) next both follow a one god concept both religions shear the same commandments. there fore if they have the same core and Christianity either western or eastern how can one say they are wrong in the religious system when there same core values are near mirror image of that of the west.

Islam is a very violent, intolerant, fascist ideology but because it is a religion it is granted an automatic level of respect in our society, and because it is practiced predominantly by an ethnic minority in our society, it gains the privileges of tolerance which come with that territory.

There are two problems however, which make this issue very tricky.

The first is that while people may profess to be members of a violent belief system, it seems to be uncommon that they act upon it. We see this in the west with Christianity: why aren't gays and lesbians being assassinated regularly, and witches being burned? Our culture frowns upon violence, while the religion encourages it, so it must be that culture is more influencing than religion in shaping peoples' attitudes and behaviours. Therefore attacking Islam alone would be largely ineffective at reducing the violent mindset of people from Muslim countries. I believe that a religion captures the culture of the era in which it is developed, and tries to preserve that culture forever. Western society is an example of how we broke through that stasis. In the Islamic East, the culture largely resembles the religion, they haven't broke from it, and if culture is more important in shaping actions than religion, then we would be attacking the wrong target.

The second problem is alienation. People are largely swayed by their culture, and are rarely truly studious of their beliefs. They often have a filter that edits or distorts what they are reading so that it doesn't upset their morality. If we persecute Muslims, however, they will feel desperate and that is when a person starts to believe in extreme ideology. Therefore, we must rely on the fact that most Muslims are ignorant of their holy book, or at least, don't truly believe in killing and raping their neighbors. We must realise that their culture is more important, so we must work on making that culture insensitive to criticism. The further we separate the culture from the Koran the closer we become to having a culture that is tolerant, and healthy.

I believe that the best way we could achieve our aims of assimilating Muslims into the west is through the use of humour. If we poke fun at Islam, make fun of its flaws and take it without seriousness, then it might force Muslims to reflect on those passages and cause them to distance themselves from it because their own personal morality is greater. The crucial point, however, is to not persecute these people. They are part of society and if you treat them as second-class citizens then you will alienate them and cause them to become extremists (where they actually hold the Koran as more moral than their own judgment).

I think this is mostly a good argument, but I have some problems with it.

First, I'm not clear on what exactly you want to achieve. Do you want to turn Iran et al into western-like countries? I agree that this would be a good thing, but pursuing this goal strikes me as a huge overreach. Cultural imperialism is distasteful. And in any case, I don't think "laughing at them" is going to be at all effective in achieving this goal.

I think we should be focused on the much narrower problem of Islamic terrorism. Here it's not the entire religion we're targeting, but rather Al Queda and similar organizations. I think the US is already doing a decent job of pursuing this goal. Disrupting terrorism while supporting acceptable governments is the best course of action.

Getting Israel to stop being so belligerent would also help ease tensions.

I want to subvert western Islam into something that is Liberal and tolerant. I want to see the Muslim community here brought into the 21st century, so that it condemns intolerance and works with us towards countering terrorists.

It is at this point impossible to convert Iran, or Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan into secular, tolerant cultures. This is because the populace is widely distrustful of the west, and they are under the spell of toxic religious and political leaders. If we made western Islam liberalised, and carried out covert assassinations on their leaders, we might be able to slowly reform their culture because the liberal Muslims here would be able to show that populace that there is a better way to live.

Whether you wish to call it imperialism or not, it is politically necessary to eliminate the parts of cultures that encourage misogyny and terrorism.

I think the US is already doing a decent job of pursuing this goal. Disrupting terrorism while supporting acceptable governments is the best course of action.

We act largely on the defensive, always waiting until the Islamists make their next move. If we reform the culture, then terrorism will be mostly quashed.

Getting Israel to stop being so belligerent would also help ease tensions.

Most of the Islamists won't be satisfied until Israel is a smoldering heap. We have to accept this and find a way to reduce the influence of these people over their followers.

good argument. but your solution wont work. poking humor only infuriates them. remember the Danish cartoons? some cartoonist linked violence to Muhammad. what happened? mass riots in most Islamic countries and fatwas demanding the death of the cartoonist. this is just a normal thing that happens in Islamic middle east.

the real solution is to demolish sharia law in the middle east. there is no distinction between religion and government. once intolerant inhumane sharia law is demolished. there will be a chance for cultural transformation into a western ideology.

Correct, this was the consequence because for decades all of Islam's faults have been put on the back of people's minds due to violent suppression of criticism. However joking about it and making legitimate criticism brings these issues back to the forefront and even though a majority of Muslims will not like being forced to address these faults they will eventually have to come to terms with them. This is why we must ignore the violence and act like the free, tolerant, but also vigilant against opression, society that we are. We need to defend human rights by reminding Muslims what it is that they are defending by remaining complacent under corrupt dictators, monarchs, prime ministers, and Imams. Then they can work to rebuild their culture and salvage the good parts.

the real solution is to demolish sharia law in the middle east. there is no distinction between religion and government. once intolerant inhumane sharia law is demolished. there will be a chance for cultural transformation into a western ideology.

In the Middle East most Muslims want Sharia, because it is promoted as perfect and god-given. If we force Muslims to confront the suffering of women, homosexuals, intellectuals, at the hands of this system, their natural morality will force them to reject Sharia. The best way we can accomplish this is through NOT acting violently, because this only makes us a scapegoat. Instead we must poke fun at Sharia, and constantly remind them of the abuses it causes.

Islam is very confusing. You can get so many quotes form the Quran where "God" tells you to be violent and so many where he tells you to be loving and peaceful. Different groups interpret it how they want and the use it to justify whatever they are doing.
