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!"
