Don't Believe It (Part-2)

Islam purports itself, especially in the West, as a religion of love, tolerance and justice. But in all actuality the truth is far from that. For example, if you compared what Jesus said and taught to what Mohammad said and taught, you’ll see what I mean:

Jesus: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44)

Mohammed:
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. (Qur’an 8:60)


Jesus: “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.” (Matt. 5:11)

Mohammed:
“And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter.” (Qur’an 2:191)


Jesus: “God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy…Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! And if you are kind only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! (Matt. 5:7, 46-47)

Mohammed:
“Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” (Qur’an 48:29)


Jesus: "They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.” (John 16:2)

Mohammed:
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya (a tax Jews and Christians had to pay if they wanted to live without submitting to Allah) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29)

But you may ask, if Islam is violent, why are so many Muslims peaceful? This question is almost like asking, "If Christianity teaches humility, tolerance, and forgiveness, why are so many Christians arrogant, intolerant, and vindictive?" The answer in both cases is clear: in any religion or ideology there will be many who profess, but do not practice, its beliefs or doctrines. Just as it is often easier for a Christian to hit back, play holier-than-thou, or disdain others, so it is often easier for a Muslim to stay at home rather than embark on jihad. Hypocrites abound in all circles and in all belief systems.

With the above proof, it's not difficult to see that the Koran and those who follow its doctrines are anything but peaceful.
