“Islam is a religion of peace and soundness, not a religion that creates terror between people.” Oh, good. Glad he cleared that up. All those Muslims creating terror among non-Muslims — the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, and all the rest? Pay no attention! Islam is a religion of peace and soundness!
“Turkey’s Deputy PM Numan Kurtulmuş Spoke on Islamophobia,” Daily Sabah, November 8, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell):
ISTANBUL — Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister, Numan Kurtulmuş, spoke in a conference called “Austria and Migration: Turks in Austria in the 50th year”, organized by Department for Turks Abroad and Relative Societies, as part of series of events he attended, in Vienna, Austria.
Turkish Deputy PM commented on the recent issues and the rise of Islamophobia affecting Muslim immigrants in Europe. Deputy PM, Numan Kurtulmuş, shared his concerns on the Austrian coalition government’s draft for a legislation intended to restrict the rights of Austrian Muslim immigrants.
“We hope and desire that the intended draft will be dominated by democratic standards included up till now and not dominated by the fears provoked by Islamophobia“, said deputy PM, Numan Kurtulmuş.
In his speech, Kurtulmuş mentioned that fascism and racism is further increased, by promoting enmity and hatred against Islam, by certain dark focus groups in Europe and the west. Deputy PM mentioned that these groups attempt to portray Islam as a dark, uneasy, and religion of conflicts, however, “Islam is a religion of peace and soundness, not a religion that creates terror between people“, Numan Kurtulmuş added.
Kurtulmuş added that Austrian Muslims will never have an apologetic soul and put upon xenophobic discourses. The Ottomans lived in Balkans for five centuries with peace, the Muslim history, culture, and the past does not have any events that include embarrassment, said Kurtulmuş, as part of his remarks in the conference, in Vienna, Austria.
All those massacred Armenians and exiled Greeks? Nothing to be embarrassed about!

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. The religion of peace, their little book tells them to kill us and even take sex slaves. I suppose they were only joking really and we have taken it out of context again. So those who are openly doing and saying these things are following something else !!

How shameful the Turkish government still submits to Muhammad’s racist insults and threats against the Turks:
Bukhari 52,179 Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you FIGHT with the TURKS; people with small eyes, red faces, and flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather.”
Also shameful is that Kemal Ataturk’s assessment of Muhammad and his death-cult (as he attempted to create a secular State and be rid of the Ottoman Caliphate – abolished March 3, 1924) – is illegal in today’s Islamo-fascist Turkish state:
Kemal Ataturk: “Islam, this theology of an IMMORAL Arab, is a dead thing.”
KiwiKaffir says
Attaturk had plenty of christian blood on his hands as well. They’re mostly all scum!

Finally Islamaphobia is rising and these stupids are now more concerned about that. They are actually creating confusion among ignorant non-muslims by saying “Islam is a religion of peace”. Because most non-muslims are well aware about the terrorism and its link to Islam and Muslims. Confusion creates doubt’s. Doubt’s will encourage studying. Studying about Islam from its sources will reveal the truth about Islam and these people will also become Islamaphobes. The phobia towards Islamaphobes is increasing…
Lisa says
Living Thing – well said. This is exactly how I found my way here. I started studying Islam after becoming curious about the contradiction of Muslims TELLING me that Islam is a religion of peace but SHOWING me the exact opposite. ppl like me are waking up daily and I’m noticing that conversations are happening now that would previously been off limited due to fear of being accused of islamaphobia.

Lisa, welcome!
I am particularly struck by your explanation of how you found your way here: your perception of the disconnect between what the Muslims were saying and what so many of them were manifestly doing.
“I started studying Islam after becoming curious about the contradiction of Muslims TELLING me that Islam is a religion of peace but SHOWING me the exact opposite”.
That is really interesting. You became *curious*. Awhile ago, here in this forum, there was a discussion about why it is that some people “wake up” to what Islam is about, and others don’t; and also, about how best to try to *encourage* people to wake up.
And I think I was one of those who argued that perhaps *curiosity* is the key. A strong “bump of curiosity” seems to be a common factor among many Infidels who have woken up soonest (that and a willingness to persevere through difficulties and puzzles, and refusal to be satisfied with “easy answers” and cheap fobbings-off). And so, maybe, more than anything else, the counterjihad should be trying to get our fellow infidels *curious*. While giving them a few tantalising pointers as to where the real, unpleasant answers are to be found.

I am originally from Turkey and I guaranty you that this guy, like the 90 % of the population, has no idea about the true history of Turks and Islam. Why, because all the Turkish history was made up to make Turks look good and Islam is never discussed (can not be discussed) objectively. Never.

Wow ! That guy a lousy salesman if he thins that anyone with half a brain would entertain fears provoked by Islamophobia.Patent nonsense.

Beware of Islam’s stages of Jihad and it includes pretending to people that this is a religion of peace while secretly planning for invasion of non Muslim territories to submit it to Islam and their moongod Allah

You are right. But don’t worry much about that. Previously, western and non-muslim nation people had almost no idea about Islam and Muslims. But now many people are experiencing Muslims in daily basis, thanks to their global spread. These people have at least one hand to hand experience with Muslim’s double standards. Cheating non-muslims with Taqquia is growing harder these days.. 🙂

Kurtulmus, Cameron , Obama. et al. are all absolutely correct. All the apologists are correct. The thing they are missing is the ‘peace’ will be when all men bow the knee to Allah and sharia is the only law. That is the peace of Islam and Islam is dedicated to establishing that ‘peace’ By any means necessary!
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article: “The Ottomans lived in Balkans for five centuries with peace..”.
Spit. Puke.
That is a lie, a vile and damnable lie.
The Christians and Jews in the Balkans, crushed beneath the yoke of the invading and occupying Turkish Muslims, lived as dhimmis: degraded, humiliated, exploited, and in perpetual physical peril. Their best and brightest boys were taken away from them in the devshirme, the “blood tax”, and forcibly Islamised and brutalised and brainwashed to become janissaries, cruel and savage, to oppress and keep down the very communities from which they had been seized. Their most beautiful girls were seized and dragged off to be used as sex toys in the harems; always liable to be murdered by capricious and sadistic masters (one psychopathic sultan ordered many of his female chattels to be tied up in sacks and tossed into the Bosphorus to drown).
Anyone who has read Bat Yeor’s two books “The Dhimmi” and “The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam”, and had a look at the chapters that deal with Muslim invasion and occupation of the Christian Balkan region, will have felt like they were looking into a bottomless pit of evil; evil visited constantly – multiple episodes of gleeful sadism – upon the subjugated and abused indigenous non-Muslims. Cruelty upon cruelty, rape, extortion, pillage, and episodes of mass murder, such as the mass murders of the Bulgarian dhimmi Christians in the latter half of the 19th century.
Anyone who has read bowdlerised history of Muslim invasion and occupation of the Balkans will understand exactly why, at ground level, many Greeks hate, hate, *hate* Turks – Turkish Muslims – and why Serbs, too, *hate* Muslims.
Under the Muslims, a region that had been rich and flourishing economically and culturally in the pre-Muslim period, became steadily ever more desolate, ever less populated.
dumbledoresarmy says
Correction to the above. I meant to write “anyone who has read an UN-bowdlerised history…”.
Falsafa says
Ottoman rulers of the Balkans were benign protectors of Christian, Jewish and local heritage. Proof? The emerging multitude of nations from the umbrella of the Ottomans who had preserved their identities completely intact. Compare that with the track record of the Christian empires of the day. Read Kinross, Mango, Finkel, Inalcik, Pamuk to acquire more objective views. Your assertion that the peoples of the Christian Nations within the Ottoman umbrella would have been better off without…is just speculation.
dumbledoresarmy says
You are talking damnable nonsense.
Those non-Muslim people-groups – Greek, Armenian and so on – survived by a miracle and by their own sheer grit.
It was not that their vicious Turkish Muslim oppressors were “nice” to them – they were not; the dhimma system is obscenely cruel, a sadistic protection racket, one of the ugliest and most horrible systems of oppression humans have ever invented, and the devshirme was also obscenely cruel, I spit in the face of anyone who thinks it was in any way good; what a *drain* upon the peoples upon whom it was inflicted, to lose so many of their best young people century after century.
No; what happened is that the oppressed peoples somehow managed to dig in their toes, and resist, and *endure*, and in the end, they *rebelled*, successfully.
And guess what? – they *still* HATE you, because you – Turkish Muslims – were such b*st*rds to them. Serves you right.
Falsafa says
The Ottoman “millet” system was the most advanced system of administering a multi-ethnic empire in it’s day. The muslim subjects of the empire had to pay the zekat tax and perform military service, whereas the non-muslim subjects had to pay tax as well but were exempt from military service. The sources mentioned in my post above would provide an academic analysis of the subject.

Mr. Deputy PM
Maybe to you Islam is a religion of peace. Maybe you would not stone someone to death, or strap bombs to children, or rape prisoners. But until you and those like you, are willing to stand up to those who murder in the name of Islam, your Islamic faith is not a religion of peace.
There are to many who corrupt the ideology of Islam as an excuse to torture and rape. They use Islam as a cover to bully and terrorize everyone who does not live according to what and how they believe.
Islam is unforgiving for human frailty. Those who abuse are nothing more than bullies who in any other society would be jailed.
Like every coward they hide behind lies and deception. They twist something good into a cover for doing bad.
You want to have Islam be consider a religion of piece, than you have to demand those who do not, to live UP to a higher standard. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Right now Islam has a lot of weak links.
It takes a strong person to do what is right. A strong person does not torture, murder, rape, steal or lie. A man of honor defends the helpless. A strong man acknowledges others have a different view. A strong man is not afraid of what is different.
Cowards hide in the shadows, or behind theology, or by wearing head coverings, because deep down they know what they are doing is wrong.

You are correct intellectually BUT not correct from the point of view of Muhammadan Islam
As usual, I always back up my statements with the Islamic sources~
Al Tauba 9:29 “Fight [qatiloo] those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle [Muhammad] nor acknowledge the religion of truth [ISLAM] (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians & Jews] until they pay the Jizya [onerous Tax for not being a Muslim] with willing submission and feel themselves humiliated”
*** Just to make sure that the listeners would believe what I am revealing, I would like to put forth a challenge worth $100,000 to the first person who can show us all a SINGLE OPERATIVE verse in Muhammad’s Quran that demonstrates any Compassion & Mercy to all UNBELIEVERS!
Currently, Unbelievers represent 80% of humanity: All Christians Buddhists Hindus Jews Atheists Agnostics etc. That is any and all those who are NOT Muslims! $100,000 for just ONE verse from among over 6200 verses in Muhammad’s Quran!***
Al Mai’da 5: 51 “O ye who believe (Muslims)! take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”
*** The implications of the last sentence is of immense importance “And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…” meaning that any followers of Muhammad who befriend or under the rule of Christians or Jews (or any none Muslim group) would be considered Apostates to Islam, outsiders to Islam, enemies of Islam who must be slaughtered.
In a nutshell, no Muslim can ever be loyal to the American Constitution because it is NOT from Allah nor can any of them be loyal citizens because none Muslim Americans are Infidels/ Kuffar/ Unbelievers/ Kafiroon ***
Are there any ‘Muslims’ reading these willing to disprove me or are you as usual too cowardly to face Facts & Reality?

Perhaps Edrogan and his minnions are watching and waiting for the chance to take over the caliphate act from Isis, after all until 1924 Turkey was the home of the Caliphate. Edrogan as built himself a new palace with 1000 rooms, perfectly in order and worthy of any Sultan or Caliph, even Solliman the Magnificent. That might mean war with Iran, but Turkey has by far the best army in the muslim world.

Amazing that he would go to Austria and claim that the Turks lived peacefully in the Balkans for five centuries. They besieged Vienna itself twice, and nearly took it both times.
