Special Series - Myth Versus Reality - Part 1

Myth: Islam is a peaceful religion.

Truth: When non-Muslims hear this, they understand the meaning of the statement from a very different perspective, but the meaning intended by the Muslim speaker is very different.

“Peaceful religion” to a non-Muslim mind means a religion that embraces and practices peaceful intentions toward all others.

When an Islamist says “peaceful religion” he means a religion whose ultimate goal is peace upon earth - when all non-believers submit to it. “Islam” does not translate to “peace” as some people falsely believe. Its meaning is “submission;” - that is, submission to Allah and to Islam, of all peoples of the earth. This is the mission of Islam - using violence against non-believers to achieve that goal is absolutely forgiven and is a stated legitimate tenet of Islam.
