DOES ISLAM MEAN PEACE?

 DOES ISLAM MEAN PEACE?

Some ignorant person will go on TV and tell us that Islam is peaceful or even that, "Islam means peace!" These people are either unbelievable ignorant about Islam, or they are simply liars, like President Obama and several other western leaders. Let me tell you that Islam is totally the opposite of the world peace. 

You should know that the Qur'an says that Muslims are not allowed to take us as friends or protectors, as Qur'an 5:51 says:

Take not Christians and Jews as friends and protectors, they are friends to each other, and if any of you take them as friends, he is one of them an unjust to himself (which means he is out of Islam, and he will be punished by death). Now you may say well I have Muslim friends, well they are either ignorant of the Qur'an or they are just lying to you. Or they are not followers of the Quran or Muhammad. First of all I am talking about Islam, not Muslims. The word "Muslim" means nothing if the person doesn't practice Islam. Maybe he isn't playing the deception game. 

Yusuf Ali's translation of the Qur'an 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jew and the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other, and he among you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily, Allah guides not the unjust people.

Oh, by the way, a Muslim may say to you that this is about not taking a friend from those who are at war with them! If you both were at war, why would that person take you as a friend anyway? The truth is "do not take anyone we are in war with" includes all Christians, all Jews and all unbelievers. Islam divides the entire world into two parts; Land of Peace and Land of War. (The house of war-is any land that is not submitting to Allah), where Muslims are in war and battle, is not protected."   

This was based of the prophet's words (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 6, Hadith 387):

'i have been commanded to fight (fight to kill) all the people up to the time that they say: 'None should be worshiped but Allah.' And if they say so, and pray like we pray, face our Qibla (direction of the kaaba) and butcher and property will be protected from me..."

I believe that these words from Muhammad: convert or die. This will take us to the word "Islam" which Muslims claim means "peace".

Do you remember this hadith from Sahih Al-Bukh ari, Vol. I, p. 13 or Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book 8, Hadith 387.

"I have been ordered by Allah to fight to kill (do Jihad) all the people until they say that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger, and that they establish prayer and pay Zakat 9money). If they do it, their blood and their property (their Honor) are safe from me."

The same story can be found in Sahih Muslim, Book 1, #s 29, 30 and 32.
