ISLAM &PEACE
ISLAM & PEACE
Often, we hear an Islamic Scholar (oxymoron) tell us that the term “Islam” means “peace.” Nothing is further from the truth than such a statement. This writer studied Law in Egypt, which requires the highest understanding of Arabic.
“Peace” in Arabic is “salam,” not “Islam.” The term “Islam” means “surrender.” Just by attributing the term “surrender” to an ideology, it tarnishes all the ideas of the ideology and invalidates it. Hence, Islam is an invalid and fallacious ideology. No religion in the history of mankind forces others to surrender and adapt to the religion. That is why this writer does not consider Islam a religion.
Additionally, no religion calls for the evil doing for which Islam calls, condones, and encourages. For example, Q4:95 states, “Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home).” Q8:60 advises Muslims “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 … Numerous scholars (oxymoron) explain Quranic phrases on violence to be only in the context of a defensive response to oppression; this is not true.
THE QURAN: THE NOT SO HOLY BOOK
Quran- 2:191 – Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.
Quran- 3:28 – Muslims must not take infidels as friends.
Quran – 3:85 – Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.
Quran – 5:33 – Maim and crucify infidels if they criticize Islam.
Quran – 8:12 – Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran.
Quran – 8:60 – Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.
Quran – 8:65 – The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.
Quran – 9:5 – When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.
Quran – 9:30 – The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.
Quran – 9:123 – Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.
Quran – 22:19- Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.
Quran – 17:4 – Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.
The sad reality is that the Western world does not understand the facts because of its egocentrism – it thinks the whole world is like they do. As a result, Europe and the West are now occupied by Muslim immigrants who take advantage of democracy (something they do not know or understand) and freedom of speech and expression (also, they do not understand) and demand the unthinkable. For example, they require the imposition of Sharia law and the imposition of blasphemy punishment in England – who could have believed? I could.
