Islam does not mean "peace" it means "submission" pure and simple.

Some of the most outspoken against Islam are ex-muslims, notably Whalid Shoebat.

Another ex-Muslim Ali Sina who runs the forum Faith Freedom International has challenged any Muslim to refute his claims against Islam, with a reward of $50,000. All he has been received in return to this generous offer is death threats.

Islamic governments all over the world are oppressing non-Muslims, such as the poor Copts in Egypt. This is done with the support of the Muslim population. Are we to believe they are all extremists?

I suggest the Western media take up Ali Sina's challenge.

All September 11th terrorists and members of Al-Qaida are Muslim, correct? A persons and a religions motives, beliefs, and reputation are shown in it's ACTIONS not its rhetoric. Words mean very little, bombs, guns, and totalitarian regimes clearly show Islam is not a religion of peace. Praise our Lord Jesus that the Catholics and Lutherans are not terrorists like the Sunni's and Shia's (more proof of the violence built into Islam), OR the Palestinian terrorists, or the Iranians. I see very few Islamics who choose peace. Yes, there may be a few, but they are the minority. The scientific method shows that Islam=terror. It's a fact based on any interpretation.

Hi everybody,

First of to all wanna Arab specialists who think they know everything,
if you has a baic arabic course you would know that words in arabic come from rrot words. it is not like english so stop comapring. Islam has many deffinition in one word and are all acceptable: Submission, peace and death.

so naming the religion it self came exactly with these meaning in mind because they are "the truth" that people who are Muslim should believe and do. which are being in PEACE with the our nature and the nature around us through the SUBMISSION to GOD and his commands after which we will experiance our DEATH and go back to who created us.

so Islam is all of them, not only submission, or only peace or only death. submission the a means, a tool to get peace in this world and after our death.

It is very annoying to see all around people who have nothing to do with arabic start explaning thing beyonf them. to let you even arabs who know arabic as their mother's tongue cant explain stuff like this. you need specialist in arabic with alot of experiance in Quran since it's the highest form of beauty and complixity in the arabic language. nobody so far has ever been able to write some even close to QURAN. ask any arabic scholor and they tell u.

Peace.

It's time for Muslims to stop defending Sharia Law. It's time for Muslims to stop defending Islamists and their literal interpretation of the Qu'ran. Don't expect anyone to see a distinction between an ordinary Muslim and an extremist Islamist, if you can't define the difference yourself. Where does the 'moderate' Muslim differ from the extremist, the islamist? Is the use of indiscriminate violence?

I see very little difference between peaceful and violent Islamists. Anyone who wants to implement Sharia in any way, shape, or form in a Western democracy is my enemy.
