I don't, but I am biased against violence and biased toward Islam--I choose to see Islam in the best light possible. So I could be wrong, and I am still working this out, so I appreciate the thread.
I am troubled by a couple events in the Prophet's life, but I don't see Islam as essentially violent.
 
same here. there are some things about the prophet that bothered me but everything else is good.
 
NO! ISLAM IS NOT A VIOLENT RELIGION! THERE ARE SOME TERRORSITS, because of this silly people the people call our religion a violent religioN!
 
hola MTAFFI,

maybe it would be polite to ask the moderators about whether the muslims would be comfortable with this question before you post it...

Dios te bendiga

Islaam is a religion of justice. :)
 
:sl:

Islam is A Religion of Peace and Militancy. We're Peaceful with those who are peaceful with us.

They will take it down if it is inappropriate, and if anyone thinks it is inappropriate I encourage you to request it be taken down. I just wanted to get the views of people. There are many threads that may not be confortable to some Christians on this site.

interesting, so you are saying that in your opinion in certain cases your religion does condone violence?
 
Well if someone attacks you, are u jus gunna sit there? I kinda doubt that. I think thats what he means.
 
Your right, if this thread leads to arguments - then we'll simply have to close it. :)
 
lol thread opened.



Peace.

What he means is yes in times of war; Islam is not a pacifistic religion. We're taught to defend ourselves, yes. But, violence should only be used as a last resort once all other options have been used. Peaceful resolutions are the best way of difusing most situations, but if your opponent draws his blade first, you might have to take up arms yourself. It's common sense really and basically what teachers and parents tell all their children: fighting is wrong, if someone hurts you tell the teacher. Though, this changes to "stand up for yourself" usually at the age of 10 or so, but I'm sure you can see the point.

I, myself, see Islam as a way of life as opposed to a social club etc.

ye, hands get chopped off, people get stoned. It gets violent but its not barbaric nor oppresive but completely just. You steal something and expect to get away scot free? you sleep with the wife of your neighbour thus changing the life of a whole family most probably completely destroying it and expect to get away?

LAA !!!!! islam is violent due to the meaning of violence but its most certainly not oppressive.... nor unjust !


may Allaah forgive me if im mistaken, correction will be appreciated wallah
