Is Islam A Peaceful Religion?
Aladin:
^ comments above.
If there is a black man, white man, muslim, atheist or christian.. who involved in rape or criminal acts.
That is for the law 2 find them and lock em up/punish them.
simple as that.
But 2 say that muslims are inspired 2 do this because of their faith is like saying young black people from poor neighbourhoods are violent because they are black.
Wrong is wrong no matter what skin color or religion someone has.
Here is an american who went 2 "Violent" Iran, he escaped narrowly before being beheaded or stoned by the Mullah's

I can relate to the Jihad anafs (internal) more than the "external" form but that is just me and I haven't felt the hand of oppression which might justify an external Jihad.
My own knowledge of Islam as a religion is somewhat limited, I do own The Qur'an and have read sections of it but not the entire book.
I have several muslim friends that I always have fruitful conversations with and I do feel a kindred spirit amongst us.
That said I have had one very strong experience with the prophet Muhammad (G_d's peace be upon his soul) that made me respect him:
I was laying in bed contemplating some religious/spiritual matter and my mind went to thinking of the prophet.
When it did I could feel his presence and spirit: and it was very strong and positive.
It was a special moment and one that filled me with gratitude.
Peace be upon those that read this.

What a beautiful story, you must have been blessed 2 have these religious experiences.
Here is a video from a Jemeni jew, who still has a letter of The Prophet inherited till this day.
Very beautiful story:

Not sure why I had the experience, I definitely don't feel worthy of it... perhaps that is why it happened(?)
It is not the first time something like this has occured but the only time with Muhammad (G_d's peace be upon his soul).
Thank you for the video.

First of all it's in Norway.. which is kind of funny to begin with. Secondly, a man in Norway is using the internet to recruit people to fight in Iraq then gets picked up around the waste by a female Musilm comedian... it was a strange fare

Religion - The oldest form of population control ever invented.
"If you don't live by these rules, you will spend an eternity in hell" as most of them goes.... Fortunately science has been able to debunk a lot of religion truths and myths over the century's. Thunder, which was once thought as gods anger, can now be explained rationally and scientifically. That's why religion is losing it's grip today, not because of society not caring, but because people can now see past the BS.
Islam is peaceful but it doesn't conform to Western ideals so it will continue to be demonized as a religion of hate, violence and terror. There is no one wishing the world to catch fire. Simply people trying to control, and others resisting. Islamic nations will never submit, so they must be cleansed (according to a former CIA operative)
