If Islam is a "religion of peace", why do Muslims kill evreyone who doesn't believe?

To answer a question with a question:\nIf Christianity is a religion of peace, then why have so many Christian American soldiers contributed to the death of over 30,000 Iraqi civilians?\n\nPlease don't be offended.  But it seems a fair question.

I'm a Muslim and I've never killed anyone, nor will I ever kill anyone.  Your information is incorrect.  The Quran states that "Killing one soul is like killing all of humanity, whereas saving one soul is like saving all of humanity."\n\nLet's really look at the facts.  There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world.  Even if we say that there are 120,000 Muslim murderers, that's .01% of the population.  It's kind of like saying that all white people are terrorists because of Timothy McVey.  Or that all black people are criminal because of the fact that the majority of prisoners are black.\n\nPlease get your facts straight and don't twist things out of context.  What are you trying to hide?  Only people who are trying to hide something resort to lying.  Why can't you be truthful?

I am a Muslim and i TOTALLY disagree with attacks on civilians.Killing civilians is totally not allowed in Islam so those who do it are mislead and i even doubt it if they are Muslims at all.A teaching in our holy book goes like this TO KILL EVEN A SINGLE INNOCENT MAN IS EQUIVALENT TO KILLING THE WHOLE HUMANITY.So those with little knowledge about our religion should enlighten themselves before reaching to any conclusions.

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

When a Christian or a Jew kills someone his religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial! When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him. \nBut when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!

It is not politaically correct to hate any other religion, but its socially acceptable to mock the christian faith.  People have a view of us as close minded, and arrogant.  However we follow a man who congregated with everyone from whores to tax colectors and even Romans.  They hold a belief that we are intolerant, and do nothing for our communities.  They see no truth in what we see.  \n\nAs for the people on here calling Islam a peaceful religion, lets look to their holy book for some answers since you guys are all experts on it lets see what the quran says:\n\nThis is for nonbelievers and how they should be treated.\n\n2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression\n3:28, Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah.\n4:84, Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.\n4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers\n5:33, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;\n8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them\n8:15-16, O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!\n8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.\n8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers\n9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.\n9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage, - that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.\n9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,\n9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.\n9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.\n9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.\n9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.\n9:73, O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and

Islam is a religion mixed up with politics, manily against the Jews.Anyone from any continet, if he/she is a moslem is anti-Jew.Moreover, there is no freedom for humanity under this religon where only the religous leaders exercise their will upon the society.\n Islam has never been tolerant because if you refuse to convert, you have to be a slave for the beleivers or pay extra tax.Moslems are responsible for the millions of Aremenians and Assyrians killed when they rejected conversion.The only difference at present time is that they kill and die anyone one who is not belonging to the religon.The teaching is based on violence and hatred for other faiths other than love.The sucide killing is a new fashion and image of what moslem are in the modern world.I don't agree that it is a religon of peace that uses persuasion to convert like other religon.All religon had their own shortcoming, but never as Islam is.It is either distored or it is like that from the start.What I don't understand is why Islam is anti jew even if he is middle east, Europena or African??The world had a great threat to world peace after the 2nd world war, i.e communism but this time Islamic fundamentalism is another threat to the security of all even including to moslems who are peacfull.

Ok..Islam is religion of the peace. Its book is Quran.Our prophet is Muhammed..We can pray to Allah at home or in a mosque.We read some parts from Quran with some actions.We must do it 5 times in a day..We have some special days..For example born of our prophet, the day of starting Quran becoming..The famous of them is called Ramazan..We don't eat something from the morning to the evening to understand poor people..We must go Kabe (our holy place) once if we are rich..Now let's come some bad sayings about Islam:\n1. We are not satans and we aren't all like terrorists.We love peace.\n\n2. Our prophet was a good man like the other prophet..6 years old girl or other bad things about him are lies.\n\n3. Our purpose isn't to kill non-Muslims.It's impossible.We respect everyone's beliefs.\n\nNow I remembered these..But there are more..Don't believe some lies about Islam.I'm very happy for you because first you wanted to learn Islam.Some people say bad things without knowledge.\nI hope it helps.\n\nHave a nice day! :-) Peace.

i agree, islam is not peaceful, man made, and hypocritical...what other religions has a promise of virgins waiting in heaven if you kill a non-believer...

And you are willing to kill anyone who will not except Islam too right?\n\nOne huge error in Islam is saying that Jesus is only a prophet. Is He a prophet, YES. But by His own words He is the I AM God that commanded Moses from the burning bush. Don't believe Him.. Fine then there are only two other choices.\n1. He is a liar...  But how could he be and be a prophet????\n2. He is a madman. But again a prophet can't be crazy can he???\n\nSo If those are wrong and Jesus said that He is the I AM.. Then He is God and Islam is false teaching something else...  Jim

I'm not sure if it's killing infidels, but more like ridding them. In a sense, if you convert someone who isn't a muslim you have gotten rid of an infidel. I guess the teaching have obviously been twisted to suit some of their sick needs. Still it's just the few lost sheep in the religion that's giving the whole group a bad name to the good ones who just mind their own business and treat people with other religions with respect.

Absolutley not! The Quran is completely against murder and it actually states that if a muslim kills even one person no matter what faith they belong to it is as if he has killed all mankind. Many people believe that the Quran condones murder because of what the media says but the terrorists and suicide bombers do not represent what Islam teaches or even allows. These are extremists that want to use this holy book to corrupt the religion of Islam.

Well Jhon , are you a muslim ? .. i guess not , that's why i'm gonna tell you this :\n\nI'm a Muslim and i was raised since i was a baby as a muslim and i know my religion very well , i read the Quran many times , and i know what does the quran means when it does talk about Killing and if you read the quran you would know exactly what i'm talking about , \n\nI'm A Muslim and i don't beleive in Killing , neither any other muslim ,Because that what we were taught , becuase that what our quran says ! ! \n\n but ofcourse in each religion there are some stricts who only think about their selves , just like alqaeda and others who made killing is some thing like a vertue , which is ABSOLUTLY WRONG , ISLAM DOESN"T BELEIVE IN KILLING ! ! ! YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT !\n\nNeo

As I understand it islam states that the 'infidel' shall meet their fate at the hands of allah after death. The encouragement of violence towards them is a relatively recent thing created by extremist elements who have broken away from true islam. If islam is correct, then it is these extremists who will be judged most harshly by their god for choosing not to disbelieve, but to change the teachings of the koran to suit their own twisted desires.

read the truth and do the research. Islam is not now and never was a peaceful religion. it was founded by a liar and thief who used made up visions to promote his own agenda. The man was a pedophile and rapist. For your own sake, read your own texts, These official works include: the Sira, Ta'rikh, Hadith, and Qur'an. Ishaq's Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the lone account of Muhammad's life and the formation of Islam written within 200 years of the prophet's death.\n\nThere were no miracles to prove Muhammad's claim of being a godly conduit. There were no healings, walking on water, parting seas, raising folks from the dead, or feeding multitudes. And there are no fulfilled prophecies, like the exacting and detailed predictions that Biblical prophets routinely made to demonstrate their divine authority. But the most troubling part about our absolute reliance on Muhammad's testimony that he and his Qur'an were divinely inspired is that the prophet's character was as deficient, and his life was as despicable, as anyone who has ever lived.\n\nFollowing his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad claimed to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he tried to commit suicide. Those who knew him best, his family and neighbors, said that he had gone mad. “He is a demon-possessed sorcerer fabricating scripture,” they said, accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. They mocked his prophetic claims, ridiculed his Qur'an, and said that his preposterous notion of turning many pagan idols into the one God was insane. As a result of this verbal abuse, all chronicled in the Qur'an, Muhammad pledged to slaughter his kin.\n\nHaving destroyed the “religion” of Islam in Mecca, Muhammad created the political doctrine of “submission” in Medina. He became a pirate, dictator, and terrorist leader. He used Qur'anic scripture to justify some of the most horrific behavior imaginable: pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations, thievery, mass murder, and terror—all in an unbridled orgy of sex, power, and money. Again, this summation simply reflects the portrayal documented in the Islamic Sunnah and confirmed in the Qur'an.\n\nWhen he was fifty, Muhammad married a six-year-old child. Then he stole his son's wife. After forcing young girls to watch his men execute their fathers, Muhammad raped them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his grasp. He committed mass murder, slaughtering Jews in genocidal rage. In ten years, he ordered a score of assassinations and conducted seventy-five terrorist raids. He used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He was more interested in collecting girls and taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all.\n\nAlas, Islam was not all murder, plunder, and lust. There was war. Tabari VII:105 “In this year there was the expedition of the Messenger to Uhud. In year three of the Islamic Era (March, 625) the Quraysh were provoked against the Messenger because he had killed their nobles and chiefs at Badr.”\n\nThe Meccans had witnessed the prophet's demented behavior at the pit. “Muhammad has bereaved us and killed our best men. So help us defend ourselves against him and perhaps we will obtain vengeance for those he has slain.” They wanted to prevent the onslaught from continuing. Yet today, Muslims raise shrill voices protesting that Uhud was proof that the Meccans were the aggressors and that Muhammad was forced into defending his flock. But their own scriptures say otherwise, putting Islam in a difficult position. If these Hadiths are accurate, their prophet was a warmongering terrorist and a ruthless pirate. But if these Traditions are not true, they have no prophet and thus no religion—for nothing else is known about him or of Islam's beginnings.\n\nIslam is a caustic blend of regurgi
