Isn't Islam a religion of hate and violence, not peace and love?

[Sithara007]

And that's exactly what they do.  Anyway, many Muslims consider the likes of the founder of Hamas, or Bin Laden, or Yassir Arafat to be heroes and role models. 

They were terrorists, pure and simple.

It will be extremely hard to find a single Muslim, who is opposed to the Hamas and Yasser Arafat (although I am not very sure about Al Qaeda and Bin Laden). It is always a matter of Muslims vs non-Muslims.

Right.  And we can show quotes from Hamas and Arafat which show they were terrorists, pure and simple.

It's all right out there in the open.  If you look for it.

"She [Hamas suicide bomber Re'em Al-Riyashi] is not going to be the last because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe."
-Dr. Mahmud Al-Zahar, Hamas leader in Gaza, Associated Press, January 15, 2004

Arafat.  "Peace for us means Israel’s destruction and nothing else."

If a Muslim says "Islam is Peace," maybe you need to question him about what he defines peace as.

Please look that the views of Islamic nations on Israel. A large number of Muslim nations does not recognize the right of Israel to exist as a sovereign nation. That tells a lot about the tolerance of these people.

Yeah those intolerant little bitches!
How can they not agree on Israel?
I mean, sure we never asked them their opinion about having such peaceful neighboors
Sure we decided to create a new country here without really thinking about future consequences

But they should accept that!
They should accept OUR decision! As WE know and they don't.

Indeed, it would seem that "Islam" is the "religion of peace," except for of course Israel, and it's consort American (The Great Satan), and the other Western nations who support Israel, and well, just "the West."

Yeah, good Muslims will all just "Jihad the West."

And also Jihad all the other Muslim sects that vary in minute details from theirs.  Can't have that can we?

[mindrust]

Islam itself isn't the problem. Christianity or Judaism ain't the most sensible religions on earth neither. All three of those religions are written by a lunatic.

People are the problem.

If you are stupid, it doesn't matter whether you are christian or muslim.

I don't have evidences but this type of stupidity is forced by USA and their allies in the Middle East. So they can sell their weapons easier to those stupid shit. That's not an excuse of being stupid but that's how it is sadly. Smart people already left those shit holes anyways...

It seems to me that it is not a religion. It's the lack of punishment for actions. There are UN troops, NATO. Other countries can join. Each case of terrorist attack or promote hateful ideas must result in a military invasion of the country and cleansing the area from the radicals.

Yes yess! In the end, all people are stupid and should be eradicated from earth. A wise man once said;

"Brothers, oh brothers, my days here are done,
the Dornishman's taken my life,
But what does it matter, for all men must die,
and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!"

How did you feel about the fact that in Muslim countries women are stoned to death or thieves cut off their hands or are forced to walk in a burqa? And there are many such examples.

Well as the West attacked first... Yeah seems logical to me.

As far as I know, being peaceful doesn't mean accepting to get bombed daily and smiling for it.
It just means to not attack first.
Which they didn't.

No one created a new country all of a sudden. Israel is the historic homeland of the Jews, and therefore after the WW2 it was decided to resettle the surviving Jews there. To accommodate the Arabs, Israel was partitioned in to two, with more than 80% of the area being allotted to the Muslim state (Jordan).

I disagree. See here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War

From what I understand, while Israel was established, the unprovoked land grab that was the 6 day war is the reason for the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. And subsequent settlement of internationally disputed territory. Not saying they didn't have the right to feel threatened. But they threw the first stone, this is historical fact.

I don't understand. Israel was established in 1948. The six day war happened in 1967. There is hardly any connection between the two events. Jordan was not happy with their share of Palestine (85% of all land), which they got during the 1948 partition. They wanted 100%, and decided to attack Israel.

FYI, "unprovoked land grab" does not correctly describe the events.  When a nation mobilizes for war, the evidence of it is obvious.  That's what Egypt was doing.

After the war, Israel was willing to cede almost all of the newly acquired land in a peace agreement.

But  these  hopes  were  dashed  in  August  1967  when  Arab  leaders  meeting in Khartoum  adopted a formula of three noes: “no peace with Israel, no negotiations with Israel, no recognition of Israel.”

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/images/mf2017.pdf#page=68

[GreenBits]

I apologize. I will admit that landgrab was a strong an incorrect term. I reviewed your document (about 40 of the 400 pages). I will start off by saying the text is a bit biased towards Israel. Now, I differ with the description of the escalations leading up to the war. War was not inevitable at that point. I will admit that Arab forces did mobilize troops in advance of Israeli response. But was that response valid? We stood off with a nuclear super power (Russia) during the Cold War without a single shot fired. We came very close to war. and honestly, some of the covert shit that transpired is patently an act of war. But no one struck. Despite the posturing, despite the threats, we persisted without conflict.

So, I'm not mad at any country acting out in its self defense. You don't have to explain to me why a religious minority might feel threatened surrounded by hostile neighbors. But they cast the first stone. and despite how we may disagree about the origins of the conflict, can we not agree that the illegal settlement by Israel is a slap in the face of good faith peace efforts by both parties? How would you feel if an international court said you get to keep your land, but a foreign, invading government insisted on building permanent structures in said land, and housing its citizens there?

And let's talk about the escalation of force. Every time a rocket is fired at Israel, despite it's overwhelming military superiority, the response is highly escalated. rocket at Israel = throwing a rock at a behemoth. No casualties when the rock hits its mark, but the mortar that comes back is certain to take a life. Same with Palestinian extremist. They don't tend to get arrested, they tend to get killed. You live by the sword, you may die by the sword. I have no problem with that, I am a student of the Sword myself. The far right leaning Congress represented in Israel ATM is entirely too nationalistic. Given that the 6 day war happened and is not going to change, what is Israel going to do about its settlement issue? Clearly develop said properties in defiance of international opinion? Establish an apartheid? Because if the settlements do not stop, this conflict cannot be resolved.

And let me be.clear. this is not one sided. Israel has suffered many abuses at the hands of its neighbors. Many abuses that should not have been tolerated. But now that they have gained the upper hand (we cannot argue this), will they be the bigger man, as all our shared faiths dictate, or will they stew in spite and nationalistic pride?

While the faults of the situation may well indeed be Arab aggression, will Israel ever be the bigger man? Is that not what our common father (Abraham) has taught us? We have forgotten our fathers face. And that's all of us, Jews, Muslims, and Christians. That Israel has won , essentially, will they act like a leader instead of an enemy? We will never spread the Lord's message divided like this. Do you think the current state of affairs in Israel, is a godly course of a godly people? Because I see an extreme government/ideology that is hindering the path to peace.

Your thoughts?

You may feel some kind of way about an Arab. I don't. When I meet my maker in Heaven, I will have to answer for my deeds and words. I'll be damed if I am denied the Kingdom because I had hate in my heart for someone that  Ivdon't even fuck with on a daily basis. What I'm trying to say is, Israel's reaction to Arab aggression in the region has been over the top. We understand you don't like your neighbors. That's cool. But be civil about the shit. You don't get to subjugate someone just because you are are occupying them
