Ten Obvious Reasons Why Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace

#1 13,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just

the last eight years. (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so).

#2

Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or criticizing

his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of

Muhammad.

#3

Muhammad said in many places that he has been "ordered by Allah to fight men

until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his

messenger." In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military

campaigns to do exactly that.

Muhammad inspired his men to war with the basest of motives, using captured

loot, sex and a gluttonous paradise as incentives. He beheaded captives,

enslaved children and raped women captured in battle. Again, Muslims are told

to emulate the example of Muhammad.

#4

After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him, and knew his religion best,

immediately fell into war with each other.

Muhammad's favorite daughter, Fatima, and her husband, Ali (the second

convert to Islam, who was raised like a son to Muhammad) fought a war against

an army raised by Aisha, Muhammad's favorite wife - and one whom he had said

was the "perfect woman."

Not only was her husband, Ali, eventually murdered, but Fatima (who survived

the early years at Mecca safe and sound) died of stress from the persecution of

fellow Muslims only three months after her father died.

Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered. All of them were

among Muhammad's closest companions. The third caliph was killed by the son

of the first. The fourth caliph was killed by the fifth, who subsequently poisoned

one of Muhammad's two favorite grandsons. Muhammad's other grandson was

later beheaded by the sixth caliph.

Even these high profile killings barely do justice to the astonishing level of

violence taking place at the time, in which tens of thousands of believers were

slaughtered by Muhammad's companions and their children in the infighting and

power struggles. Within 50 short years of Muhammad's death, even the Kaaba,

which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal

Muslim war.

And that's just the fate of those within the house of Islam!

#5

Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them

under submission to Islam. Within the first few decades following his death, his

Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist

and Zoroastrian lands.

A mere 25 years after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had captured land and

people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.

#6

Muslims continued their Jihad against other religions for 1400 years, checked

only by the ability of non-Muslims to defend themselves. To this day, not a week

goes by that Islamic fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews,

Hindus and Buddhists explicitly in the name of Allah.

None of these other religions are at war with each other.

#7

Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill

anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.

#8

Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human. Muhammad said that

Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to

death for killing a non-Muslim.

#9

The Qur'an never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of

Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.

#10

"Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"
