Re: Islam is "not" Peaceful

dont be jealous of thi guy.. he simply nailed the oppoenents... specially when he said linking islam with terrorism mean we are promoting and encouraging ans speaking the same thing as terrorists do... no mulla does this.. they only to US bashing....

I doubt very much that " Terrorism " has anything to do with Islam nor have I observed anything to believe that line of thought, but this was not the reason for debate. People who commit acts of terrorism do not believe that they are committing an act of terrorism, therefore when he said that we are promoting and encouraging and speaking the same thing as terrorists is not an accurate statement.

Re: Islam is "not" Peaceful

it is accurate if people say islam is abt terrorism.. which teh terrorist also say islam is abt their version of jihad.. the only difference is one says teh act is good and other says its bad.. but both link islam to the act it self the same way... ..

so who ever says islam is not a religion of peace is supoprting the terrosits idelogy...

All religions claim that they are religion of peace but they are not in Christianity they are suppose to kill the one who works on Sunday but Christians don't do it in this age.

Re: Islam is "not" Peaceful

i agree.. so that was the debate on.. the opposite side was saying islam is not a relgiion of peace like many others atheists and far left people say.... i dnt knw abt christianity but islam in any age never allows any one to kill.. all these aytaats terrorists use is out of context and for their own gains which the atheists and other endorse as well...

The British lady got owned. Best part was how he mentioned Christian history of genocide and the current terrorism being a reaction to invasion of Muslim lands. It's the Brits who are responsible for Kashmir and Palestine issues which should also have been highlighted. This is not to say that I hold every Britisher responsible for these crimes unlike she does Muslim's. Ignorant fool, bawaykoof aurat!

Re: Islam is "not" Peaceful

Thanks for a very peaceful statement[hilar]

We are peaceful, but Islam also teaches justice. And what india is doing in Kashmir its not justice and for that you know our reaction. Peace doesn't mean stay dUmb and do nothing.

Hundreds of students from Oxford University every Thursday pack the debating chamber of the Oxford Union Society to listen and participate in a debate on an issue of current interest and importance. On 23 May 2013, the motion under discussion was “That this House agrees that Islam is a religion for peace”. After a two-hour intensive debate participants voted 284 in favor and 186 against, and the motion was passed

Re: Mehdi Hassan - A Muslim Student of Oxford University

very strange to know that 40% of the people still think that Islam is not the religion of peace. Meaning that they don't know any thing about Islam and are influenced by the Media.

Islam is also the religion of not imposing so if 40% still think the other way, let them.

very strange to know that 40% of the people still think that Islam is not the religion of peace. Meaning that they don't know any thing about Islam and are influenced by the Media.

How to defend islam?By making proper sense of the quranic text in its own context. The more people follow mullahs blindly the more confusing and indefensible position people put themselves into.

Re: How to defend Islam !

اسلام کا دفاع نا کیا جاے ، بڑی مہربانی ،

مسلمانوں کے پست اخلاق اور بد کردار کو درست کیا جاے ، آج ہماری اوقات ہی دین عظیم کے لیے شرمندگی ہے

امت نے جنگ ، مناظرے ، جھگڑے سب کیے ، لیکن اپنی کسمپرسی کو دور نا کیا ، سب کو بدلنے کی دھمکیاں دیں ، مگر خود کو بدلنے کا تکلف ہی نہیں کیا​
