Is Islam a Religion of Peace

[The Empire of Pretantia]

There is not one prophet in Christianity that is not a prophet in Islam.

Jesus was a prophet

What a heathen.

[Romakivila]

He said Jehovah! Stone him!

Mefpan said Jehovah stone him!

Are there any women here today?

[Olerand]

Jesus was a prophet, he was a peaceful one too. He performed miracles unlike Muhammad. I personally question the miracles part and I believe in science however I do believe that Jesus rose from the dead and became immortal. Unlike Muhammad.

Ok... and?

Muslims believe Jesus is a prophet. They literally believe everything you believe minus that he is the son of god and died on the cross (they believe he was lifted up into heaven before he could die.)

And that he will come back again in the end times to slay the false Army of Rome and save the last virtuous Muslims holed up in Jerusalem.

A YT video? Nah.

You can't be arsed to see the truth. Because of people like you, Islam and Marxism still exist.

I see the truth. You, on the other hand, are part of the problem. And sorry, but after reading your signature, I can't be arsed to indulge you and your fearmongering. Yuck.

[Reploid Productions]

They start accumulating in countries and then start terrorizing it with gangs of rapists, violence and civil disruption.

They are possessed, demon possessed. They seek to spread fear and violence, they are pawns of the devil who feeds off of the fear and suffering they create for power.

Just as their leader, Mohammad, they use "God" as an excuse to prey on innocent people. Mohammad was a robber and a thief, his followers are no different.

It is not the Most High God they serve, but Satan.

Since the last warning about how you conduct your hate-on for Islam has apparently failed to penetrate and make it clear that Nationstates has conduct rules you are required to follow as a condition of using the site...

Well I haven't seen a lot of cheek turning from Islamists.

[The Klishi Islands]

See, I think comments like "Islam was, is, and forever will be a violent religion" are extremely inflammatory, and lead to the isolation and radicalization of Muslims in society. I look at Islam the same way I look at every religion: the vast, vast majority of adherents are peaceful and don't wish for violence (because, you know, violence sucks) but there are always small-scale radical interpretations or warpings of the religion and its texts to justify war.

I think the current issues Islam is facing within society have roots elsewhere. For example, the "youth bulge" in many Middle Eastern societies, coupled with non-diverse economies and arbitrary borders, pushes people (especially young men) to the fringes of the belief system. Look at countries with diverse economies, less random borders, or lower birth rates (like Indonesia or India) and you'll see far less radicalization. Look at historical societies like pre-Nazi Germany, pre-revolution Russia, and pre-revolution China and you'll see youth bulges. It's, strangely, a fairly accurate predictor of unrest.

For more reading on the youth bulge, see here.

That's a very possible theory. I will admit that i had no idea what the youth bulge was. But if that's the case, why don'y we see young Christians wage another "Crusade" against them? Shouldn't there be thousands of Christian/Islamic skirmishes across the globe and not just Islamic fighters massacring Christians on the daily?

Christian societies don't have youth bulges nowadays. Europe and the Americas have far lower birthrates than Muslim societies (a correlation, by the way, not a causation). Europe's population structures are actually top-heavy, which is why many consider it necessary for Germany and Europe to bring in immigrants to support the economy.

Also, those Christian nations with youth bulges (such as a couple South American nations and much of sub-Saharan Africa) either do see religious strife between Islam and Christianity or are preoccupied with other types of societal unrest.

The point is that demographics and economics are far better indicators of radicalization in a society than religion.

Because they are Islamists. You didn't get a lot of cheek turning from the crusades, the inquisitions and the colonizers.

Of course the Christians won't turn their cheek from this, since during the era of the Crusades, a vast statistical majority of the battles were offensively invoked by the "Saracens" (i.e Muslims). These were defensive wars for Christianity, with only meek tirades of territory being conquered into the Holy Land in order to uproot the Islamic war machine from one of their primary objectives of control.

Which was centuries ago. Islam sill practices barbaric Jihad in modern times. Christianity went through the Reformation and the Enlightenment. Islam did not. Islam waged wars of conquest in the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain. Christianity only waged the Crusades in the Middle East, primarily Israel.

Which happened centuries ago and very few devout Christians condone the inquisition, crusades, and colonizers. However, do you think that Islam is a religion of peace?

LOL, no Christianity did wage war in both Europe and Africa, also in East Asia.

In the Islamic end of times, Jesus, or the Prophet Issa will come back and destroy the Army of Rome led by the Antichrist and fight with the last virtuous Muslims still on Earth holed up in Jerusalem.

[Aelex]

Ok... and?

Muslims believe Jesus is a prophet. They literally believe everything you believe minus that he is the son of god and died on the cross (they believe he was lifted up into heaven before he could die.)

And as a christian, I believe in everything that muslims do about Mahomet except that he was a prophet and received any revelations from God.
See how believing in someone minus their primary role make you not actually believe in him at all?

Moreover, not only do Muslims deny the deity of Christ and his martyrdom for our sins, on both of which Christianity is more or less based upon, they also refuse to accept the trinity making the supposed comparison look even stupider.

So, really, no. Just no.

That's a new Hadith, where's that from?

Non, there is no rapture.

No, he will save the Muslims of the world. The others will be followed of the Antichrist and will be slain.

[Aelex]

Rectification, that he will lead army of Muslims to slaughter Christians and Jews.
Big difference.

[Greater Orensta]

48% voted that it is not... Ah, idiots and the media make for a fine breed. If you look around, you will find that more than 99% of Muslims are not trying to convert you to Islam.

The religion itself is not peaceful, but neither is Christianity, and most people don't practice creatine parts of the religion, I'm pretty sure the average Muslim doesn't practice jihad.

Wrong. Also, the crusades were primarily a response to Islamic aggression.
